Social Media in Vienna Part 1 (Oh no, not another Mini-series!)

As you might remember, I gave a presentation on Social Media 101 last week at the University for Applied Arts in Vienna. Social Media is still very unknown territory in Austria.

To get info to the paintings you can call a phone number and listen [...]
