Slaughter Development’s founder has another article in the electronic edition of the Hamilton County Business Magazine. This piece is about productivity and social media.

Here’s a teaser from the article:

One of the hottest buzzwords in the news today is “social media.” Cable news networks are using Twitter to capture public opinion. Everyone from teenagers to retirees are joining Facebook. The professional pick up line is no longer “may I have your business card” but “I’d like to ask you to join my professional network on LinkedIn.” These social media services are incredibly popular, but can they actually be used to benefit you and your business?

There are two key questions around the idea of social media and productivity. First: can we use these services to productive ends where they help us to grow our businesses and improve our lives? And second: can we efficiently and effectively use social media networks?

The answer to both is a resounding yes. For more information, attend a free seminar by the author. The event is sponsored by the Indiana Business Network and will take place on Wednesday, January 13th at 10:00AM at Grape Inspirations Winery, 1307 S. Rangeline Rd in Carmel, IN. Please RSVP to [email protected].

Or, if you want to attend a full 90-minute class on Social Media Productivity, sign up for the August 4th session in Slaughter Development’s 2010 Productivity Series.

We’d love to see you at either event!
