Mark your calendars for two free TechSoup Twitter events: TechSoup Talks
Twitter: Webinar June 9
<https://cc.readytalk.com/registration/1rb0mf4royhrh/u29emrqckxrx> and
Online Event June 10 <http://www.techsoup.org/go/twitter>
<http://www.techsoup.org/go/twitter> .


There's a lot of buzz about Web 2.0 tools, but how can you determine how
to best use them for your organization? On the surface, tools like
Flickr <http://flickr.com/> and Twitter <http://twitter.com/> may just
seem like fun diversions, but they can be effectively used by nonprofits
to mobilize constituencies, enhance outreach and fundraising activities,
and expand reach. The Webinar session includes an expert-led exploration
of the above Web 2.0 tools and hands-on advice on how to best implement
them for your nonprofit.

Take part in the Webinar Mon. June 9 from 11:00 A.M.-12:00 P.M. PDT:
<https://cc.readytalk.com/registration/1rb0mf4royhrh/u29emrqckxrx
<https://cc.readytalk.com/registration/1rb0mf4royhrh/u29emrqckxrx> >

We'll follow-up the next day, June 10th, with a free, all-day,
asynchronous (not live) online Twitter event in the TechSoup Community
forums: <http://www.techsoup.org/go/twitter
<http://www.techsoup.org/go/flickrevent> >

Join new media consultant and blogger, Marshall Kirkpatrick
<http://marshallk.com/> , and Michaela Guerin Hackner
<http://www.kalabird.com> , Director of Online Strategy at World
Learning <http://www.worldlearning.org/> , as they dive deeper into how
and why to use Twitter to benefit your nonprofit. We'll look at more
complex ways Twitter can be incorporated into your marketing strategy,
help with professional development, and build your community of
supporters. This is a great chance to discuss ask any further questions
you have of our expert event hosts. No registration is required, just
show up and post!

Come join in the conversation in the TechSoup Emerging Technologies
Forum <http://www.techsoup.org/go/twitter
<http://www.techsoup.org/go/flickrevent> > as we discuss issues such as:



* Building your community through the Twitter network

* How to use Twitter applications to manage your Twitter account

* Twitter etiquette and best practices

* Connecting Twitter to other Web 2.0 tools to maximize your use of
these social media applications

Take part in one or both of these free TechSoup events!
