At the July 9, 2007, PSI community-wide meeting, Tom Glaisyer (tom@netcentriccampaigns.org) and Karen Showalter (karen@netcentriccampaigns.org) of Netcentric Campaigns conducted a training entitled, "Alternative Communications 2.0: Demystifying the Interactive Web." This training reviewed how the peace and security community can collaborate and communicate with one another, and the greater public, more cheaply and effectively than ever before through the use of alternative communication channels. Tom and Karen introduced some powerful new web-based tools including blogs, wikis, RSS and social networking sites.
