Feed The Wheel: Social Media & Business

Like spokes on a wheel, different forms of media link up communities - and get the word out about business and life.

The Gravity Summit Social Media Marketing for Business Conference is Monday, Aug. 31 at the Harvard Faculty Club in Boston.

Social media is a fast, efficient and relatively low-cost way to get a message directly to an audience using blogs, wikis, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter and more.

On-site participants will learn how to establish strategic objectives and ROI targets.

Cost is $439. See www.gravitysummit.com for details.

CNN.com Live, the Internet’s only multi-stream live video news service, will exclusively stream the conference on www.CNN.com/Live, starting at 9 a.m.

Speakers include MC Hammer, Gary Vaynerchuk, EMC, Dunkin’ Donuts, Southwest Airlines, the American Red Cross, CNN, Domino’s, Arnold Worldwide, SHIFT Communications and Rebel Industries.
