This morning’s workshop went well. It was a smaller classroom, which fostered more dialogue regarding privacy and how-to’s. Thanks, attendees, for making this fun! I hope you learned a lot and can take the info back to your contacts.

I’ve posted my deck and handout on Slideshare.net. (www.slideshare.net/chrisylam) And here is the deck as an embed.

Hey there! I’m back from Canada and back at work. The funeral was fine. My cousins and extended family were very nice in hosting us and accommodating us.

This week I’m catching up and finishing up my “new” deck for Saturday’s workshop. That’s right, I’ll be teaching my “Intro to Social Media” workshop at Women at Work in Pasadena this Saturday at 10:30am. I think we’re full. This time, we’ll be in the computer lab and it’s a smaller room.

It’s amazing how things have changed in one year in social media.

• Foursquare vs. GoWalla vs. Yelp – Brightkite kind of died
• Twitter vs. Plurk vs. Pownce – Twitter has pretty much killed both, IMO
• Friendfeed – I dunno – but looks like Buzz might have a hold (I still don’t like FF)
• Facebook vs. MySpace
• Tumblr vs. Posterous

I’m interested to see where the pieces fall in 12 months. You?

One of the fun things I was able to do was present a workshop on Blogging for my colleagues and former fellow interns. I’ve uploaded it for your viewing pleasure and education. Hehe. Please give credit when credit is due. If you download this, please attribute it back to me. It’s just good manners.

Here it is! And I’m sorry it’s late. I’ll be updating this deck for my next workshop in Spring 2010. Please credit when credit is due.

I also have a Blogging 101 preso to upload and share as well. Will update when uploaded!
