Learning about the new new media

Has a college education prepared you for the new new media? Social media tools like Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and blogging have transformed the way businesses, organizations and individuals communicate information to others. If you are not on board with these social media tools than you are lagging behind. But where do you go to learn how to use these social medial tools? Fortunately, for those of us in COMM 630 we are getting a hands on learning experience, but for others who are not lucky enough to take a college class, what are they suppose to do?

I found an interesting blog about a new educational program being launched by Nick O'Neill, founder of The Social Times called the New Media School. His program is designed to help individuals and companies learn more about social media tools.
