Stephanie Booth’s Summary

I've done application support, worked as a project manager, and a teacher. Since early 2005 I have been giving presentations and talks about blogs in a variety of settings (schools, businesses, non-profit organisations, print media, and a medical research workshop).

Interested in: helping individuals/organisations start using social tools and media (technical, strategic, content, cultural); consultancy and training on projects related to social/participatory media; evangelist/community manager/product manager in the web2.0 world; speaking in public about given aspects of blogging and the online world understood as a culture; R&D; language, localization, multilinguism issues; youth in the digital age.

Warning: as of 2009, my profile needs updating! All is still true, but much is now missing.

Stephanie Booth’s Specialties:

Blogs in general, technical aspects, participatory media, teenagers, corporate blogging, sociological aspects, communities, wordpress, vulgarisation, teaching, bilingual (French/English), language.
