Social Media & Weather

Human beings are more connected now then we have ever been in
our history. All it takes is one click (or Tweet or Facebook status
update or YouTube video). That's the power of social media. But
how can we create listening outposts to better understand what is
happening online, in public social media networks like Facebook or
Twitter or on video sharing sites like YouTube? How can we learn
from what we read & see to help our personal and professional
brands? How can we leverage social media to avoid the storm and
find the rainbows?
