Our free webinar, Social Media 101, was a huge hit! We had nearly 150 people sign up to learn how to get started with services such as Twitter and Facebook pages.

Based on this turnout, we plan on hosting the webinar again in the near future. In the meantime, we have uploaded materials from the webinar for those who missed this week’s session:

• Copy of slides — review all 10 social media tips
• Webinar recording — stream it and click through to hone in on topics of interest.

Please let us know if you have any questions or feedback. We look forward to seeing you on a future webinar!
