Teresa Valdez Klein of Parnassus Group will be giving a free Webinar entitled "Locating and Participating in the Online Conversations that Matter" at 10:00 a.m. PST on February 19th, with an encore presentation the following day at the same time. The description reads:

This hour-long presentation will give you the skills necessary to find and participate in online conversations about your products, your industry, and your competition quickly and easily. You will will take away key techniques for monitoring online chatter and deciding when and how to chime in. The presentation will cover technologies and techniques for blog monitoring with RSS, engaging on social networks like Facebook, and participating on microblogging networks like Twitter.

Parnassus hosted the highly successful Facebook conference that I went to in December, so I expect this will be worth attending. Here's more information on the Webinar.
