Well, our social media seminar focusing on LinkedIn is behind us and we’ve got photos! Among the participants was celebrity photographer Diane Cohen. She was nice enough to take some shots and send them along. See them after the jump.

The seminar was a great success, if I do say so myself. We’re still getting fantastic feedback and following up with participants. So thank you to everyone who participated and helped spread the word!

Hiring the Internet goes Mobile

Some of our particularly sharp-eyed readers may have noticed that we’ve just upgraded our blog. After years of being hosted as part of the WordPress.com community of blogs, we’ve decided to make the move to the freedom afforded by self-hosting. Our main reason for making the switch is so that we can make use of some of the vast number of WordPress extensions to add extra features to this site.

For instance: this blog is now available in a slick format that’s optimized for mobile devices, courtesy of the sexy WPTouch plugin. Just visit hiringtheinternet.com on your iPhone, Ipod or Android phone to check it out.

In anticipation of tomorrow’s Visible Shops seminar, “Small Business Social Media: Find Your Next Client” – (which still has room for YOU, by the way) – we thought the following video was appropriate.

It has tons of facts and statistics about social media (that will help you persuade the powers-that-be that this isn’t just a fad), its relevance to today’s society, and how the movement may mean more to the world than the Industrial Revolution did 200 years ago.

And if you’re one of those folks who consider yourself a social media guru – you know all things Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIN – think again. You’ll be surprised at the odd yet intriguing finds this video presents.

Take a look:

Visible Shops Launches the New and Improved CBST.org

After months of research and development, Visible Shops is proud to announce the launch of the new CBST.org, the online home of Congregation Beth Simchat Torah, the world’s largest LGBT synagogue.

Unlike most churches and synagogues, the CBST membership is spread far beyond local reach, as members seek both to support CBST and its mission, and view it as a spiritual home away from home. As CBST has grown – and because of its status as both a synagogue and an LGBT organization – launching a new version of CBST.org was key to the organization’s growth and continued outreach to the community it serves.

CBST’s new site took a year of planning, preparation and building – and it completely replaced the old, outdated site. The purpose of the new CBST.org is to extend the organization’s reach to members and supporters beyond its tangible walls, in hopes of providing even more gay and lesbian Jews the solace they seek through spirituality.

Inc. magazine recently profiled the company in its latest issue – and asked other business owners how Hunch can get the word out about its service. The company has benefited from steady positive buzz, but it hasn’t yet launched a formal marketing campaign. No sweat. Five entreprenuers offer different suggestions on how to put Hunch on the top of the heap.
