The OBJECTIVE: For each audience member to be at least encouraged to start a website or a blog, use their email signature to connect to them, and link it with several social network pages...and understand how to use this assembly, and the value of what they have personally and professionally.

The secondary objective is pure networking. So the event will be one hour of networking followed by one hour of panel discussion. We open our doors to women who are part of the SF Bay Area New Media Industry to come to this event. There will be a raffle for a prize as well.

WISE members are encouraged to bring friends, and as this is an open recruting meeting, we're inviting you to come and become a member of Women In Sports and Events. See http://www.wisesf.com

We will take questions from the audience that are relevant to the discussion at the time during the talk, and have a Q and A session for general questions afterward.

1. Topic One: What's a Blog and Why Should I Have One, Versus a Website?
a. What's a blog good for? (Marketing yourself, or your firm, etc.)
b. How do I start a blog? (Where does one go? I recommend Blogger.com because it's free and easy to use; what's your view? What's "BlogHer" all about?)
c. But I'm not a writer! (Some think that they have to take part of their day to blog; is that true?)
d. What are some common blogging mistakes and misuse?
e. If I'm starting a blog for my office, what should I avoid doing?
2. Topic Two: Ok. I Have This Blog, And Now I Am To Link It To A Facebook and Linkedin Page? Why? Isn't That Dangerous?
a. What do I need a Linkedin and Facebook Page For? (Business connections; discovering events of interest.)
b. Do Successful Business People Use Linkedin and Facebook -- or MySpace? (What folks like AOL founder Ted Leonsis get out of Facebook and Linkedin,)
c. What are some common ways that people misuse Facebook and Linkedin?
3. I want to start an online community for my office; what do I do?
a. How can I use the work-based online community to help my work?
b. What are common ways that work-based online communities are misused?
4. Topic Three: I've Got A Blog, Facebook, and Linkedin Pages and an online community at work -- Now I need YouTube? Can It Help Me?
5. Can I Make Money From All Of This? How?
6. OK. I'm set up with all of this, but I'm not getting a lot of traffic. What do I do?
7. What are "Internet Trolls" and what should I do about them?
8. Questions from the audience.

For non-WISE members, the suggested donation is $20. WISE is a non-profit organization.

Affinity.

Storytelling.

Knowledge.

Transparency.

Authenticity.

Community.

Fearlessness.

To let media loose into the commons so it may be collected and edited together to construct larger ideas is where it's at.

The new media started because people like President Reagan decided to throw the piece of trash so called "Fairness Doctrine" out the window.

As technology grows radio has been joined by internet communication.

It used to be that Walter Cronkite could go on air and say we lost the Tet offensive when in fact it resulted in the utter annihilation of the Viet Cong. Not anymore.

New Media is Wikinomics. It's Gutenberg on steroids.
