Facebook (subscriptions, branding)

Google+ (curating content)

Pat Murphy-VHB, Inc.: By using Microsoft Lync, we do many different types of Webinars. We spotlight different projects using Lync, video camera and record them. We then post to a video library on SharePoint for people to view at their leisure. We also use Lync to help share out desktops with people in other offices if they are having document issues.

Barry Smith-Acme Packet: We are replacing our current mix of tools for managing/administering this training business with the Cornerstone Learning Management System. We are currently in the pilot phase, learning how to configure the system to accommodate our needs; figuring out how to make this LMS do what we need it to do (within the Cornerstone paradigm), and transferring the various tasks to existing staff. We will go public mid-May at our annual Partner conference.

Mike Lacy and Tom Frevert- Staples, Inc.: Implementing Leading at Staples – a Blended Approach to Learning

We hope you can join us.
