[prpoint] Please see how IABC uses social media to communicate to their members!

dear friends

International Association of Business Communicators (IABC), one of the world's largest bodies of business communicators operating in more than 70 countries with 100 plus chapters are using social media to communicate with their members and other global professionals.  We have featured IABC in one of our earlier ezines also.

Social media is now emerging as a cost effective communication tool.  All the professional bodies in India, including CII, FICCI, Nasscom, PRSI, PRCI, ABCI, GFPR can also emulate this model.

Archana Verma, who is coordinating the social media at IABC as their Communication Manager is also part of our prpoint  group and the member of the Editorial Team of PR-e-Sense.

Here is the information about IABC and social media:

IABC has made use of blogs, podcasts and social networking sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter to reach out to their 16,000 members from around the world and increase and encourage knowledge sharing in the profession.

Some examples of IABC's foray into social media are:

IABC EXCHANGE (Blogging Platform)

The IABC eXchange in an online tool that connects the popular WordPress blogging platform with the IABC member database of over 16,000 communicators. Members can connect with their peers in the profession by creating private web sites and granting access to specific members or creating a traditional blog and making it visible to the whole world.
