Knowledgewebb is Power A site that teaches people new to the job front not to sweat the tech

In 2008, Amy Webb watched as many of her former journalism colleagues, including those who had been employed by the shuttered Rocky Mountain News, lost their jobs. Many had worked in newsrooms for most of their careers and weren't confident in mastering the technology necessary for them to change careers, or even become successful freelancers.

Webb, a former reporter and the CEO of Webbmedia Group, a Baltimore, Md., company that creates marketing and media programs, created a free webinar to help teach jobless journalists everything from how to set up a home office to using social networks. More than 100 people participated in the first free webinar.
