Notes and details from today’s “Social Media for the Real World” talk

I gave a talk at the Business Connections series for the North Hennepin Area Chamber of Commerce today. While it was tremendous fun, packing an overview of three of the biggest social media tools (Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter) into a half-hour presentation meant that I had to cut out an entire universe of tips, tricks and resources.

For those who are visiting my site for the first time as a result of the talk, welcome! You can connect with me on any of the networks we mentioned by following the links at my social media page.

I also promised a bunch of links and resources here, so here are a few:
