The alternate universe of the Internet is quickly tying itself into every aspect of our lives… Switch that Facebook status to “in a relationship” and watch how quickly the cute blonde who works at the cafe across the street trades in her stilettos for comfy tennies and stops forgetting to charge for your drinks. Positive or negative, information about you, in both the personal and business sense is easily accessible through the Internet. Think about it: when potential clients “Google” you what are they going to find? A high-school honor-roll record, a trashy youtube video of a certain Brittney Spears karaoke stunt, or a website that you yourself have created with faithful customer comments about the ‘scrumptious, juicy, and mouth-watering’ mangoes at your “last” stop before Hana store? How do you make that site appear first on the search engine, and ensure that your message is echoed in all the social networking sites and far reaches of the vast internet world? Peter Liu, technologist and Internet expert, is Columbus and Twitter is the New World. Except he knows whats up and realizes he isn’t in India. This Internet guru is holding a FREE workshop from 2-4 PM on February 10, 2010 at Malcolm Center Training Room in Tech Park, Kihei, to explain “How to Use Social Media to Improve Your Business” for anyone and everyone who still thinks the world is round.
