AENC Technology Showcase 2008

I’ve set up this page to provide resources related to a Web 2.0 workshop I delivered for the Association Executives of North Carolina in April, 2008. In this workshop, we covered some of the fundamental ways in which communication has changed, looked at core social media technologies, like podcasts, wikis, and blogs, discussed the new opportunities and challenges for marketing in a Web 2.0 world, and wrapped up with a quick look at an array of new technology tools.

If you attended the workshop, thank you! If you were not able to attend, or simply found this page through search or a referral from a colleague, welcome! In either case, I encourage you to bookmark this page and share it with others.

50 Web 2.0 Tools in 50 Minutes

Below are links to all of the sites referenced in this presentation. I will be filling in brief descriptions for each one over the next several days. As I noted during my presentation, to keep this list from being shaped too much by my personal work habits, I asked a handful of colleagues to suggest tools they think are valuable. I’ve noted these suggestions below, and I encourage you to visit the Web sites of the people who made the suggestions (just click on their names).

Also,  all of the links below as well as many others are maintained in my Del.icio.us account at: http://del.icio.us/jcobbm2l/cooltools.
