Google+ Workshop Webinar continues tonight

DearREADERS,

If you are curious but haven't yet dabbled with G+ yet, check out tonight's workshop webinar. We will focus on my setting up a Google+ account from scratch, and then we will figure out what "Sparks" are all about. This "workshop webinar" format worked incredibly well last night, as we all shared. From our collective experience we were able to piece together interpretations of how to use the "circles" to create separate streams of postings from various groups of our friends. I suggested one for "Quilters" in addition to a "Genealogy" circle where I've added friends who may not be interested in the quilting circle's postings. This G+ technology is so new, no single person knows it all. So BRAINSTORMING is the name of the game. THANKS to everyone who participated in last night's first of four (count 'em 4) free webinars for our group discussion of Google+. Everyone was open to learning every bit of the new social network tool, and thankfully we had participants like GeneJ, Russ, Geoff, Ericka and others who shared their comments. A few demonstrated how they use G+ as I switched the "presenter" option one by one to others on the panel. While it is true that DearMYRTLE's G+ profile has been blocked (as they believe I am a company rather than an individual with a nom de plume) that didn't hold us back one bit -- THANKS to the help of the other participants. Room capacity = 100 Like last night, we'll continue with the format of having 5-6 mics open at once for more immediate feedback. If you don't have a headset, please view using GoToWebinar, but call in using your phone to hear and speak.
