Workshop Description:

Despite the constant onslaught of new tools and tactics, something very fundamental about change has not changed at all: stories matter. Our stories. Storytelling has been the most powerful building block for social change since the beginning of time. What social networking tools do is give us unprecedented power to share our stories to many more people than we could have imagined. Our stories—and our willingness to share the stories of others with our networks—can mean the difference between social change and perpetuating the status quo. We'll cover the culture of social networking (including do's & don'ts, plus common fears), tactical strategies for current tools like Twitter and Facebook, as well as understanding and implementing metrics for success.
