You have to talk the talk

We’ve looked at Twitter, talked a little about YouTube and some other tools. There are a host of social media tools out there that can be useful to you and your organization. We’re going to explore them.

How: Teams of two will take one of these tools and investigate. You’ll answer these questions, then write up what you’ve found as a comment to this blog post. That way all of your colleagues can see the results. Each team will get a maximum of 10 points. 

What is it?

What does it do?
