Seminar description:
The new technologies of the "Social Web" are enabling communications 
and marketing professionals to engage with key constituencies as 
never before. Four senior PR practitioners -- Dan Forbush, president 
of ProfNet; Joseph Hice, Jr., associate vice president of marketing 
and public relations at the University of Florida; David Jarmul, 
associate vice president of news and communications at Duke 
University; and Charlie Melichar, vice president of PR & 
communications at Colgate University -- discuss new-media strategies 
as they apply to blogs, wikis, RSS, and podcasts.

Find out why you should make these new community-building tools an 
integral part of your communications program and learn how to 
implement them.

Attendees will:
- Review the strategic implications of "Social Web" technologies.
- Learn how blogs, wikis, RSS, and podcasts function and how to get 
started in them.

Find out how your colleagues in academic communications are putting 
these new tools to work.
