Digg, Del.icio.us, RSS, Wikipedia, StumbleUpon...the list of emerging Web 2.0 or ‘social media’ tools is ever-lengthening. What are they? How do they work? How are people using them? How might they apply to the world of web content management? This workshop will demonstrate 29 of the most popular tools and services, and discuss their relevance to the attendees’ work.

As stewards of our online messaging—whether through a website, email campaigns, advertising, blogs, et cetera—we are faced with a seemingly endless barrage of new technologies. 

If you’re responsible for delivering the web site for your organization - you’re being bombarded with requests for all kinds of new Web 2.0 Features.  But, really, what the heck are Web 2.0 Features?

And, just as important is our ability to deliver on the promise of Web 2.0. Don’t forget the overarching lessons of Web 1.0 circa 1997 to 2000: Don’t build technology just because you can (in fact, you shouldn’t really “build” technology ever again, but that’s a different presentation).

In this presentation we’ll unwrap the hype of Web 2.0 and discuss the realities of what these capabilities will mean for your organization.  We’ll look specifically at a few Web 2.0 capabilities and some helpful safety tips as you decide when and how to deploy them.

We read and hear so much about best practices for implementing and managing web content management systems in response to what we don’t read or speak about: projects that have gone horribly wrong. Bring your war stories for discussion and thoughtful analysis from our panelists on how to avoid projects that end with a plot twist.
