Bobbie Pastor reminds us about a presentation on Social Media to be held this Saturday, March 23. Vice Prez Dave Rothgery announced it at our PMUG meeting last Saturday. "Introduction to Using Social Media for Business" It is hosted by SCORE at the Prescott Adult Center. http://www.scorenaz.org/score-workshop-13c.htm You can pay at the door.
You'll be briefed on info on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube and Pinterest. Note, Howard LaPittus is the man to call if you have questions. That email is scoreoffice@scorenaz.org
How to Be Unsociable on Facebook, etc.
David Passell gets our attention with info on how to be unsociable. He begins, "I don't know how many of our members are signed on to Facebook, or Twitter. I know that some use Gmail and may also have Google+. Here is an article about how to get rid of them if you feel unsociable : ) , but beware the warnings about Google+ if you have Gmail. I don't have Google+ or a Gmail address, but I understand, (dimly), that my cableone.net e-mail and spam filter are related to Gmail."
David closes by suggesting members might be interested in a SIG or meeting on using these Social Services. "Might also include Linkedin. You may not want to 'friend' or 'share' (such warm fuzzy terms :() but there are some interesting people you might want to 'like' or 'follow.'"
Compare Four Social Media
Compare Facebook vs. Twitter vs. LinkedIn vs. Google+ with the help of this article. Jim Hamm observes, "In the article the author comments that although Google+ is new and hasn’t yet found a niche, some proponents surmise that it might end up being a Facebook for grownups. I’ve only used Google+ briefly and it will be interesting to see how it develops. I’m a big fan of Google’s Gmail, Google Reader and Google News, so maybe this will fit right in the lineup. All these, plus more, can be accessed on the Google+ website."
