Net Tuesday Vancouver – April 09

This week was my second time at the Net Tuesday Meetup, a popular meetup for “social media and Web innovators.” Net Tuesday might be one of the best meetups to learn about social media in Vancouver, from the basics to the nerdy.

This month’s format was rather interesting. Four presenters, each at different corner of the room, and 25 minutes to present. Groups rotated after each time slot and the presenters would go at it again.

Though the presenters were great, I’m not sure it was the best idea to have four people presenting at the same time.  I found myself jumping from one corner to the other trying to catch interesting questions and some people couldn’t hear clearly or see the presenters’ computers.

The topics were

• 

  Ning, great for building communities.

  Managing your online reputation through www.netvibes.com and other cool tools such as Yahoo Pipes.

• Facebook and the difference features between a profile, group and a page.
• Ning and its usefulness to build communities.
• Twitter…
