Have you ever felt lost when people you know talk about social networking, specifically Facebook or Twitter, or when organizations request you follow them on one of these two sites? Or, do you just want to know more or how to protect your privacy and stay safe when using these two popular networking sites?
Linebaugh Public Library is offering a computer class on social networking. The class, Introduction to Social Networking, will cover both Facebook and Twitter. It is scheduled for 6:00pm, Wednesday, November 17th, and is free, no pre-registration required.
Online social networks facilitate connections between people based on shared interests, values, membership in particular groups (i.e., friends, professional colleagues), etc. They make it easier for people to find and communicate with individuals who are in their networks using the Web as the interface.
Social networking is also an effective way to keep in touch with people you know and to track down old classmates, work colleagues and old friends who you might otherwise have lost touch with. Not only is social networking popular amongst teenagers, but it is also a popular amongst all spheres of society and people of all ages.
Come join us on Wednesday, November 17th!
