>> BUILDING A STRONG ONLINE COMMUNITY - June 7 <<
Led by: Marnie Webb from CompuMentor and TechSoup 

Explore how nonprofits are creating networks-of information, of stories, of
people-with online community-building tools. What are the best ways to
extend your work in the real world online? We'll also focus on using the
Web to 'pull' relevant information to you. Among the concrete takeaways
from the session will be the opportunity to create a search tool for
gathering targeted news that's relevant to your work through RSS feeds.
