About the Webinar
Web 2.0 is taking the Internet by storm, offering greater opportunities for
collaboration and sharing of information through services like blogs, social
networking sites and news feeds.While most of the Web 2.0 focus is on large public communities, like MySpace
or Wikipedia, corporate communicators can use these tools to discover new content,
add interactive features and drive traffic to their intranets.In this 90-minute webinar, we’ll start with the basic principles of Web 2.0—collaborative
authorship, open standards, tagging, and so on—and then dive right into a hands-on
tutorial on 10 specific tools you can get started with today. This entry-level
Webinar will help you:
- Understand Web 2.0 concepts—both technology and culture—with an eye on
internal corporate use
- Evaluate new tools for their usefulness in a corporate environment (security,
technology, etc.)
- Mine photo-sharing sites like Flickr for free, relevant images for your
intranet
- Use simple tools like Yahoo! Pipes to find competitive intelligence
- Use Google Maps and Microsoft’s Live.com
to easily create secure, custom maps** BASIC **
