A panel discussion on Social Media vs. Social Web
Thursday June 4, 2009
6:30 PM - 10:30 PM
Nemo HQ
1875 SE Belmont St
Portland, OR 97214
Social Media, Social Web, Social Networking, Community Director.... what do those terms mean to you and/or your company? Do you or your company understand that Twitter is a platform more akin to good old IM than a social network? Is Facebook a social network or an online community or both? Does it matter? Our panel of venerable experts will attempt to steer us through this topical minefield during the discussion.
