Fully costed examples, strategy and tactics, showing you how you can do the same:

Why go it alone? Social Collaboration for growth

11:30-12:30 and 15:30-16:30
Noded is a better way for freelancers and collaborators to work together online.

Noded is a new and better way of working. It is based on logical and natural ways of interacting with people, nurturing ideas, and simply doing a better job without the constraints of everything that comes with traditional “Business life”.

The Noded philosophy is also about flexibility and efficiency in collaboration, especially among people who are geographically far apart.

This talk will introduce the Noded concept – how Liz Cable has used Noded teams to deliver projects beyond the scope of the size of her business, and will introduce Social Media tools such as Huddle, Socialwok, and Google Apps to help you make your online team a reality.

Liz Cable is a Social Media and Online Communities consultant who has been running a Noded team for four years. Join her and become a member of the Noded community.

Overall a great event and slightly fewer attendees improved the event as it meant that it was easier to find exactly who I needed to see.
