"Mark your calendars for two free TechSoup Twitter events: TechSoup Talks Twitter: Webinar June 9 and Online Event June 10 .

There's a lot of buzz about Web 2.0 tools, but how can you determine how to best use them for your organization? On the surface, tools like Flickr and Twitter may just seem like fun diversions, but they can be effectively used by nonprofits to mobilize constituencies, enhance outreach and fundraising activities, and expand reach. The webinar session includes an expert-led exploration of the above Web 2.0 tools and hands-on advice on how to best implement them for your nonprofit.

Take part in the webinar Mon. June 9 from 11:00 A.M.-12:00 P.M. PDT.

We'll follow-up the next day, June 10th, with a free, all-day, asynchronous (not live) online Twitter event in the TechSoup Community forums. Join new media consultant and blogger, Marshall Kirkpatrick and Michaela Guerin Hackner, Director of Online Strategy at World Learning, as they dive deeper into how and why to use Twitter to benefit your nonprofit. We'll look at more complex ways Twitter can be incorporated into your marketing strategy, help with professional development, and build your community of supporters. This is a great chance to discuss ask any further questions you have of our expert event hosts.

Come join in the conversation in the TechSoup Emerging Technologies Forum as we discuss issues such as:

• Building your community through the Twitter network
• How to use Twitter applications to manage your Twitter account
• Twitter etiquette and best practices
• Connecting Twitter to other Web 2.0 tools to maximize your use of these social media applications

Take part in one or both of these free TechSoup events!

The online forums event on June 10th is asynchronous (not live). No registration is required, just show up and post!
