Navigating the Groundswell: Marketing in a Consumer Controlled World Start: 02/17/2009 12:00 pm Blogs, Social Networks, You Tube, Twitter, forums and other social media outlets have given consumers the power to overthrow brands and take control. Brand perceptions and purchasing decisions are no longer formed by marketing messages but are instead influenced by “peer-to-peer” Web communications as consumers increasingly turn to them as their most trusted source of news, information and opinions. While this power shift challenges traditional marketing strategy it also offers new opportunities for marketers to build relationships with customers, bolster and protect their brand and grow revenue. During this Webcast, hear Suresh Vittal, senior analyst at Forrester Research and Microsoft discuss: · The current state of social media marketing · How you can successfully “listen” and market in this new consumer driven world · What social media strategies are working and which ones to avoid · The benefits and ROI social media can deliver such as: o Driving click-through and measurement into e-commerce engines and downloads o Using Blog and Twitter to push people into ROI driving/revenue channels o Solving customer and product support issues · A success story from Microsoft Corporation Coping with Multitasking During Project Meetings Start: 02/17/2009 1:00 pm During your project meetings, are the participants reading email, surfing the web, or doing instant messaging while they "half-listen" to the meeting?

As the economy started growing again, Grant’s business boomed. At this same time, in 1995-96, Grant became aware of the Internet and domains. “That was a remarkable awakening for me because I had the Madison Avenue marketing background and I had the real estate background and suddenly these two powerful thing merged. I looked at a domain and thought My God, not only is this a brand as the Internet develops, but it also has all of the properties of real estate,” Grant said. About Gratitude: Gratitude is a showcase for the talent and vision of Internet innovators and pioneers sponsored by DomainSuccess.com; a community of entrepreneurs working together to contribute to each other’s growth.	19 SEO Best Practices for Your Drupal Site Start: 02/19/2009 12:00 pm Join Ben Finklea, CEO of Search Engine Marketing firm Volacci, and Bryan House, Acquia Marketing Director, for an in-depth review of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) best practices for Drupal sites.
