Teens And Social Media

I just gave a talk to some great Teen Librarians in SC about Teens and Social Media. Here's the presentation on SlideShare. There were lots of great questions but the thing I was most surprised about was that some libraries still BLOCK social media sites citing security fears. It's too bad these libraries are missing out on FREE communication tools to reach Teens in their communities.

What Does The Research Tell Us?

Here is the presentation I gave at the Southern Social Networking Summit in Greenville, SC. It was a great two day conference with lots of brainstorming going on about social media, independent book stores, libraries, and public relations.
