The changing world of communication… It’s not just what you say, it also matters where you say it.

Texting, Blogging, Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr. What exactly are these forms of spontaneous conversations with the connected world and how are they being utilized by our peers to recruit and communicate to volunteers?

We will explore popular social networking tools and determine where the value lies and if they can add worth to your organization.
