Tech Tools: Using Blogs and Wikis

http://www.bizbash.com/content/editorial/e6009.asp

This article is interesting to me for several reasons: I am interested in the new social applications (Web 2.0) and two because I am an event planner. Blogs and Wikis are the two new buzzwords in the event planning industry. Nowadays, these social websites are gaining popularity in the professional settings.

What those stories probably failed to mention is that blogs are quickly moving from the Web playground into the business boardroom, offering event professionals innovative—and cost-effective—ways to connect with their internal teams, vendors, and constituents.


As an independent consultant, this form of communication is extremely effective. These ways of social networking allow the planner to receive valuable feedback and suggestions concerning events, conferences and meetings they produce.
