Additionally, there are a few resources out there that can get you started, such as this Executive Briefing on Social Networking for Businesses and Associations, which has (wow!) been viewed almost 9,000 times.

You can get the presentation here, or download it as a free e-Book here.

Looking forward to seeing some great things out of San Diego this week.
