The most important reason why
you should use social media today
        in this workshop
Because social media is
democratizing communications!


        “    Technology is shifting the power away
               from the editors, the publishers, the
               establishment, the media elite. Now
                 it’s the people who are in control”
                 Rubert Murdoch, Global Media Entrepreneur
STOP CONSUMING
START PROSUMING
     TODAY

     YOU
Think about one last thing before starting:

Be careful with your private information on the web

and never write things you will regret in some years.

          Humans forget. The Web won’t.
