On Tuesday morning, AIGA Portland hosted our pal Kent Lewis of Portland search engine marketing agency Anvil and SEMpdx, as part of the 2008 Career Tools series. Lewis discussed search, and what it means for the creative services industry; outlining steps to increase one's professional and personal profiles with social networking tools such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Flickr and a bevy of blogging strategies. Forty-plus were on hand for coffee and quiche. For a copy of Kent's presentation, as well as a primer from Eric Karjaluoto of smashLAB and Design Can Change, follow the links below. To wrap it all up in a convenient little package, Adam came across this nice piece about, um, green networking from Max Gladwell for Sustainablog.
