Data Doctors Radio Program

A different look at the 'Social' web

The Social side of the Internet is becoming THE story in 2009 and whether you are an active user or not, it is having an impact on the entire planet.

The election turmoil in Iran followed by the use of social media to tell a story that would otherwise be locked down is just the most recent example of the impact.

The plane crash in the Hudson River that was first documented by a Twitter user is another example of how any individual could be the one to document any event, anywhere in the world.

We leaned heavily on Social Media ourselves to spread the word about our blood drive in the Phx area this week.

Listen in as the Data Doctors broadcast live from United Blood Services (and don't forget to donate blood too!) as we discuss ways to leverage the power of the social web, many of which you probably never thought of...

Join us every Weekend as we discuss your computer questions. It's the Tech Show for Non-Tech People! You can post questions on Facebook .
