You need to share files. Whether it’s with friends, clients, partners, or coworkers, there’s some file you need them to see, and vice-versa.
My last two posts drew a distinction between whether you’re file-sharing for publication or for collaboration (How to Share Files — Part 1: Overview), and then explored some options for the publication-based options (How to Share Files — Part 2: Publication Tools). Read more »

Over the last few months I’ve answered a lot of questions about online file-sharing.
“Should I upload my files to my own website or put them on a file-sharing service?”

This week I’m giving a presentation on social media to the Dane County Administrators of Volunteer Service (DCAVS).
In a 75 minute talk (including discussion) I’ll only be able to scratch the surface of this enormous topic, so I’m providing them with additional resources to help with later planning and learning. I thought I’d post the resource list here for anyone else who’d find it useful.

Step 1: Contemplate
Ask yourself this question: “Why am I doing this?”
(This is a pretty good question to ask before doing most things.)
