A few times in recent weeks, I’ve been unable to watch video news items promoted on Yahoo!. I click the link to watch�

�and get a “not available” message:

Has anyone else had this experience? Is the video source pulling the videos because of a surge in traffic, is this a conspiracy to make Yahoo! look bad, or something else?

On Feb. 16, 2010, IABC/Chicago held a professional development session titled, “Making the Most Effective and Efficient Use of Your Time.” Barbara Talisman, president of Talisman Associates, Inc., delivered the presentation.

UPDATED 2/28/2010: I finally was able to upload the video to the IABC/Chicago YouTube channel. I’ve deleted the PodPress videos, which took too long to load, and embedded the YouTube video. Enjoy!

In this 8:45-minute video, Barbara is interviewed by IABC/Chicago volunteer Wanda Whitson. They discuss:


The benefits of a social media policy for organizations, and the risks if companies don't have one
Some of Barbara's favorite social media tools
An example of a successful social media campaign for an external audience
Who 'owns' social media within an organization
Then, two session attendees share one learning that they obtained from the session
