BDPA Enters the Social Network Community
There are a number of social networks where BDPA members can identify themselves. There are over 1,500 subscribers to the BDPA CollectiveX Groupsite. There are over 600 subscribers to the BDPA Group on the LinkedIn Network.
Chris Bomar (Cincinnati) worked with us last year to create a place the BDPA Foundation on Facebook. Former national BDPA president Milt Haynes (Chicago) was the first to create a presences for BDPA on Facebook.
How many of you are active on Twitter? I find myself updating it 3-4 times per day. I get updates from New York Times and Barack Obama via Twitter.
Ura Puranda (Chicago) and her team created a YouTube Channel for the BDPA Foundation. I hope that we can find more videos from BDPA chapters, students and members to include on our newly created channel.
I guess that BDPA is searching for it's place in the Web 2.0 world. What do you think of it all?

The new web apps available are overwhelming to keep track off. I would like to know which of the web 2.0 apps are really used by the BDPA membership. Then we can target our message to those applications being used and then hit the big players for mass marketing.
Cliff - Any thoughts on how to determine which Web 2.0 applications are supported by BDPA members?
