Have you heard about LinkedIn, Facebook  and Twitter and wondered what they are all about? Have you received email invitations to join but been hesitant to say yes? Are you curious as to how others are using them? Do you wonder if they would be of value to you if you knew more?

 

 

Come to the July 7^th meeting of The Fairfield County Computer Users Group where Ed Fitzgerald will give us an introduction to Social Networking on the Web using LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook and will answer these questions and more. He will explain what they are, how they can be of value and what you can do to get started.

 

 

Ed is a marketing and technology specialist who helps businesses market themselves and their products on the Web. His clients include Coldwell Banker, agents in their Westport Riverside office and a number of small businesses. He has a broad background in information technology and had been involved with the Internet since the early days. He is also the President of the Fairfield County Computer Users Group. An informative evening is expected. All are welcome to attend.

A refreshment break and the main presentation conclude the meeting. All questions are welcome at our Q&A session and presentations. Bring a friend.
