I’ve been offering workshops to acquaint folks with social media. I did a recent workshop on “Facebook, Twitter, Flickr – what’s the talk all about?” And today one about “Tracking your Organization across the Web: The Good, the Bad, and possibly the Ugly” What’s out there about your organization? How to find and track both user and media generated content.

Using a variety of tools and super-sleuthing techiniques somewhat similar to what I learned in my investigative journalism classes in college, we were able to compile a world’s view of Dartmouth College from the web. All an interesting experience in capturing so many levels and types of content!

If you’re interested in setting something like this up for your organization, drop me a note.

Yes, I’m riding in the Prouty this coming weekend, July 12, a fundraiser for the Norris Cotton Cancer Center.

Please sponsor me! It’s for a good cause. I doubt there’s anyone of us who has not been affected by cancer in some way – a loved one, a spouse, a friend’s child, ourselves.

Please consider donating! I’m the only Kanner participating, apparently so I’m easy to find. I know the hills I’ll be climbing on Saturday are nothing compared to the mountains folks climb fighting this god-awful disease.

 July 12 Update: We made it, riding the 25 mi. in just under 2 hours!  Yipee!  Next time perhaps we’l aim for the 50!  Thanks to everyone who donated.
