Is anyone surprised? Are you still one to think social media won’t work? Well then, read up:
Social media and a national road tour are part of the plan to drum up interest. The campaign will stress the importance and secrecy of the count.
This shows the further use and maturity of social media.
(Not that I thought they would succeed, but this further strengthens my belief that those groups who wanted to ban the census will not win.)

Friday is all about LATISM-DC. Latinos In Social Media, DC is the latest addition to the LATISM family of state chapters.
This has resulted in the 3rd social media conference presented by LATISM, a national group promoting social media and the Latinos behind it. From their own state website:
LatISM DC, part of the LatISM Heritage Tour, is a conference that brings together a select group of Latinos in Social Media and business leaders in the region to discuss current topics related to Social Media. This two-day session focuses on Web 2.0, Gov 2.0, leveraging social media for non-profits, businesses and government.
This folks, is a full conference:
On the national LATISM site you will find a dynamic list of speakers speaking at this event (sorry, registration is closed). They will even have YOGA!!! How innovative is that?!?
A special thanks goes out to NCLR for graciously donating the conference space.
And a special thanks to Kety (@KetyE), and her team: Sylvia Aguilera (@httponline), Alma Suarez (@AmericanLatina), Julie Diaz-Asper (@JulieDiazAsper), Elianne Ramos (@ergeekgoddess), Jennifer Lubrani (@meningioma)…aka, The Five Latinas. Six Latinas.
LATISM has reached a tipping point with DC, as they are at full capacity and have had to add a networking event to fill the demand. Congratulations Ladies!
