My session is about business tools within the context of social media particularly web 2.0. I will be discussing the demands that web 2.0 has placed on traditional business tools – with the increased need for collaboration, remote working, co-working, and agile development.

The discussion includes categories of business tools, from productivity, to community, to collaboration. Tools that once dominated these categories pre-web 2.0 as well as tools that are in play today? This workshop will also discuss some of the features that are critical in defining a USEFUL business tool. Features like cloud computing, micro blogging, conversations, content portability, and data portability.

My goal is for the audience to walk away from this session with a greater idea of business tools for the web, and an idea of what it takes to be outstanding in business today.

BOSTON, Sept. 24 /PRNewswire/ — Social Media for Social Change (SM4SC), an online grassroots movement started by Boston native Gradon Tripp to rally social media-users and leaders in support of a common cause, will host its first fundraiser on October 10 at 6:30 PM at the Harvard Club of Boston; all proceeds will go to Jane Doe, Inc. (JDI). Eleven sponsors have pledged their support so far, including a major donation by presenting sponsor Empressr. SM4SC anticipates raising over $20,000 from this event
alone.

SM4SC has garnered support from hundreds of Web 2.0-savvy individuals and corporations across the United States to raise funds for JDI. SM4SC differs from other fundraising organizations by tapping into the social media world to get the word out through blogging, Digging, Tweeting on Twitter and other online tools. By harnessing these powerful applications, SM4SC feels it can make a major difference for important charity organizations.

“SM4SC is powered by the influence that individual people have within their own online communities to work together and make something happen,” said Gradon Tripp, founder of SM4SC and author of DesignBoston blog. “We’re utilizing the communal nature of the Internet, which can cause a YouTube
video or blog post to reach millions, to raise money for crucially important charities and help fix real-world problems.”

“This is the first Web 2.0 event that we’ve been a part of that’s sole purpose is to address social responsibility,” said Bryan Thatcher, founder of Empressr, a New York City company that provides online rich media presentation tools. “The interconnected social community, especially in Boston, is exactly what is needed to fuel a movement like this.”

SM4SC plans to extend outside Boston, eventually hosting similar events for charities in other locales, including Virginia and New York City. For more information on Social Media for Social Change, visit
