Concourse Lunch n Learn Notes, Slides and URLs

A big thanks goes out to the concourse office park in Atlanta, GA for kindly hosting their "lunch and learn" series and inviting me to speak last Wednesday.

I'd also like to thank everyone that came and participated in the discussion. I've been told it was the largest "lunch and learn" group they've had and we even managed to keep everyone awake too.

If you didn't have a chance to join us last Wednesday, then I invite you to join us Thursday, April 1, 2010 at the Ravinia Club's Professional Development Series. I will be speaking upon "Online Communities, Brand Management Tips, and Productivity Tools" which will cover some of this material along with an emphasis toward online communities.

As promised at our lunch and learn, below is a listing of the URLs and tools we talked about along with the slides. This is certainly not a complete list of available tools, or even the tools that compete in each segment. It is meant to give you an idea of what is possible out there on the world wide web. If you find a particular tool or set of tools that you want to learn more about or find out what else like this is out there I suggest using this quick and handy tip below to find competitive products quickly with Google.
