Social Networking For Webinars

Gossip

Call me late to the party, but I just found out about a discussion group on LinkedIn entitled "Webcasting & Webinars Best Practices."  I'm hoping I got the link correct to drive you to the group overview page. You'll need a LinkedIn account, and the group is moderated, so you'll need to submit a request to join and be approved before you can post.

I've seen some attempts at webcasting groups on sites like Facebook, but they usually only feature 5 members or so. This LinkedIn group has 278 members, active discussion threads, and 12 new members over the last seven days. So it seems to be a good communal resource.

I recommend adding this to your participation in the Conferencing News Key People directory and the Web Conferencing Community Forum. If you know of other active groups for people involved with and interested in web conferencing, I hope you'll add a comment with appropriate links so we can continue to develop and extend opportunities for sharing advice, recommendations, and resources on the subject.

  • Ken, The LinkedIn group sounds very interesting. When I tried clicking through on the link in your posting, LinkedIn took me to my Groups page with the error message, "Sorry it seems there was a problem with the link you followed." I tried searching Groups for the group name but didn't find it there. I'd appreciate any tips you could offer on how to find this group. Thanks so much for all of the very useful ideas that you share here and on the free webinars you offer.

  • Sorry about that, Jim. I think I have fixed the link now. Please give it another shot. LinkedIn doesn't make it intuitively obvious how to share the group URL!
