Introduction to Social Networking for Adults February 11, 2010

Flummoxed by Facebook? Taunted by Tweets? Or is MySpace just in outer space for you? Learn the advantages, disadvantages, ins and outs of Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter during an informal and entertaining evening at the library.

This introduction is for people who have heard about social networks and are wondering if they should join the crowd. It will also be helpful for parents who might have no interest in joining a network, but are wondering what their children are doing. Attendees will also have the option to sign up for a follow-up workshop, “Fun with Facebook,” where attendees will have the opportunity to create their own Facebook account.

Starting with the basics, Introduction to Social Networking for Adults will cover what it is and how it is used, why people use social networks and its more popular applications including job hunting, dating, communicating with family, organizing school reunions, game playing and simply keeping in touch with friends. The importance of privacy and the basics of protecting the information you post online will also be discussed.

Light refreshments will be served. Join us for an informative and fun hour of online adventure!
