Nothing beats face-to-face interaction, but we cannot deny that it has never been easier to collaborate on projects than it is today.

With the Optimist International Convention approaching, I thought it might be a good time to share the presentation here as a familiarization tool. I hope it will encourage others to use social networking sites to generate more buzz and connect more readily with those at the event and those at home.
