Extending conversations through social media
The evolving world of on-line social media offers new opportunities to develop conversations with a wide range of audiences in order to build relationships and share information. There is a growing range of social media applications available on-line, covering forums, blogs, wikis and videoblogging. Emerging applications such as Twitter open new ways of connecting with people. The range and potential uses of these technologies can be overwhelming to first-time users.Deirdré Straughan has been working with on-line applications since 1982 - starting in the days of Compuserve and usenet. She currently works as Community Strategist and Videoblogger for Sun Microsystems, out of Colorado.
