Social Media Knowledge Swap!

05/30/2012 from 10:00 am - 1:00 pm

From Facebook to Twitter to Pinterest and beyond, the world of online sharing and social media seems to be expanding by the second. Well don't worry, you don't have to sell an app to Facebook for a billion dollars to stay ahead of the game! Wednesday, May 30th at noon, Cohab is hosting our first Knowledge Swap, focused on Social Media networks, and how to make the most of them! This isn't your typical class or seminar, this is a small group of social media users, just like you, sitting down to talk about what social media sites they like, why they like them, and giving you their tips and tricks. Current social media networks already up for discussion include Pinterest, Tumblr, StumbledUpon, and of course, Facebook and Twitter. Know another network like the back of your hand? Let us know on the wall here and we'll add it to the discussion! Want to know what this Pinterest thing is all about? Can't understand why anyone needs more than 140 characters to share a thought? Start to get antsy if you can't check in at your current location? Bring your lunch and your knowledge, and join us Wednesday May 30th!
