 e. Talk about yourself in 140 characters or less. Share photos from yo
 ur vacation. Ask your customers for feedback about products. Listen t
 o your customers suggestions. Answer your customers' questions. Prai
 se a business for excellent service. Resolve a customer's complaint a
 bout lack of service.\n\nBefore the Internet, Wi-fi, mobile technology
  and chat rooms customers could only communicate with a company by te
 lephone or letter. Customers could only use word of mouth to share t
 heir satisfaction or dissatisfaction. In our personal lives, we lost 
 track of college roommates, grade school friends and military buddies.
  Today, we can share our opinion about anything and everything instan
 tly, and we can find long-lost friends on Facebook or by \"googling\
 " them. As we become more connected, how do we keep from losing ourse
 lves in the process?\n\nExplore the positive and negative potential of
  social media in our professional and personal lives. Panelists and a
 udience members will discuss best practices and potential pitfalls in 
 the increasingly complex task of using and managing social media in to
 day's culture. Join WFAE for our next Public Conversation exploring
  \"Social Media: Taming the Beast.\"\n\nHow is increasing focus on soc
 ial networking changing the way we do business? What issues should emp
 loyers address concerning the use of social media by their business an
 d employees? What concerns should employers and job applicants keep in
  mind? How can a person keep from becoming overwhelmed by or addicted 
 to social media connections? Moderated by WFAE's Julie Rose, the pan
 el and audience will discuss these questions and more. Panelists:+ D
 ani Burns, senior social media strategist at FairPoint Communicatio
 ns; board member - Social Media Charlotte+ Jonathan Crotty, partner
  & chair, employment practice group at Parker Poe+ John McArthur, as
