Reaching out in a Web 2.0 World
Tuesday, October 30, 2007 noon - 2 PM
St. Michael's College, Elmsley Hall, Charbonnel Lounge
The success of online communities like Facebook and YouTube is phenomenal: they help organizations reach more people, engage them in new ways, raise more money, and improve the way organizations work. However the tools themselves don't make this happen; the 'web thinking' behind these phenomena makes them truly transformative. Web 2.0 tools are developed with participation at their core, on open systems and in a highly collaborative way. Ultimately they give individuals more freedom and control over their interactions.
Jason Mogus will provide an overview of the most common Web 2.0 tools, explore the larger cultural trends driving this technical change and discuss how the social / community sector can use them to further its mission. He will also challenge us to examine how our older thinking and decision models are holding back success in this new interactive world where the audience is truly in charge.
