http://gatewatching.org/2009/11/27/all-atwitter-social-media-and-the-liberal-leadership-crisis/ Although Social media technologies are changing rapidly a company and business can always find solitude it the knowing that all avenues of communication are effective for strategic and tactical relations in the social sphere of the internet. This also depends up how the organisation is structures. Sure a very vertical system of business where communcation flow is up and down however if it’s lateral then training and learning are much similar and more adaptive. If the business has quality Social Media Marketing Principles then they may find that their business and reputation will increase as their relationship to their publics develop. http://www.knowyoursocialmedia.info

Laurel,
As a self appointed social media expert, do you think maybe you could try to set a better example?
Your blog is totally inaccessible. 138 errors and 44 warnings!
What are you doing to look after people with disabilities??? Nothing!
Test your site at http://validator.w3.org/
You should be ashamed.
Yeah I tried to update the site a couple of nights ago to have additional features like membership levels and forums – had to rollback. It broke everything including search
Hopefully the fix will be completed this weekend.
On another note, what an unpleasant tone to take !… to have a valid point and then blow it with a personal attack. That hinders, not helps the fight for accessibility.
I can fix my website…
Wow fair comment Lisa
Don’t shoot the messenger Laurel
It also broke avatars. Very weird to see 50 million grumpy pink pixies on each page
Please send me information
Hi Laurel,
I have just found your website and have been following you on twitter for a while. I was wondering if you would like to be our guest speaker for an event we are holding on 10th August 2010 at 6.30pm-8pm in Sydney?
We run a co-working space in Dee Why on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. We offer desk and office space in a shared workspace for independent workers, such as freelancers, creatives and contractors etc. You can check out our website http://www.co-worka.com.au
Our regular workshops and events are really popular with the small business and freelancers that use our space. You can view our events here http://www.co-worka.com.au/events.html
The ideal topic we would like to cover in this workshop is “Twitter for Small Business- How to Tweet and What to Tweet to expand your following and therefore your business”
I understand you have existing workshops and so this can be a marketing opportunity for your courses and our workshop a kind of teaser for them.
I suppose this workshop would cover the real basics for people not yet familiar with the way Twitter works. Eg:
Advantages of using twitter for your business and some case studies.
What to tweet and how often.
How to search for the right people to follow
How to use tweet deck, and tweet pic etc
What the hash tag and @ symbol means and when to use.
The attendees interested are business start ups who are eager to learn and get on top of their social media.
I look forward to hearing from you to maybe discuss things further.
All the best,
Alys McAuley

Hi, any plans for courses in Singapore this year?
Seems very interesting indeed. The course appear to cover a great deal of subjects. How deep will the course delve in terms of technologies for monitoring & measurement?
Is there a level of existing SM knowledge required?
Cheers

I think there might be a mistake in the advert. You sent in on 22nd but the text says that the early bird finishes on 22nd. Have a look at the beginning of your advert.
Thanks!
Thankyou Roslyn – fixed now. The 30th Jan for Social Media Marketing earlybird and end of Feb for the 1/2 day courses. Cheers
Hello Laura and Team,
