"The Social Network as a Career Safety Net
I am a strong believer in the power of social networking. You can find me on CollectiveX, Facebook, LinkedIn Network and Twitter. In fact, my 15-year old daughter thinks I'm too old to be on Facebook.
Perhaps you are like my daughter. Maybe you have avoided social-networking sites like LinkedIn and Facebook with the excuse that they are the domain of desperate job hunters or attention-seeking teenagers. If so, it’s time to reconsider." - Vincent Wright

"Working with Goodwill of Greater Washington on their social media effort has been very enjoyable. Serving as a social media coach, I’ve watched Brendan Hurley and his team make great progress since initiating their social media strategy just a few months ago.
Goodwill of Greater Washington is successfully using social media to intelligently raise its brand, educate new communities on its mission, and create sources of income. This case study has two important aspects: 1) That it is a metro region based effort, and 2) it features a charitable organization. We asked Brendan to write up a case study, and explain his strategy and efforts to create a diverse social media strategy that includes blogging and a special online fashion show event, The Fashion of Goodwill." - Vincent Wright
