Abstract: Web 2.0, social media, Marketing 2.0, Enterprise 2.0, communities, transparency, virtual worlds, social graphs??? Like most new trends, there’s no shortage of buzz words, but there’s a big gap between the enthusiasm for this “new media” and what it means to a business. This sessions will try to address the following fundamental questions designed to inform a business on how to get started:

  • What is Social Media?
  • What is Social Media Strategy?
  • Why does it matter to a business?
  • Who are the “influencers” who make these social spaces thrive?
  • How do you measure it?
  • What is the social graph…and why should I care?
