Introduction to Social Network Services
 Thursday, October 2, 7:00 p.m., Room 265, 128 Grandview Ave, White Plains Middle School, White Plains, NY

Wikipedia’s definition: A social network service focuses on building online communities of people who share interests and activities, or who are interested in exploring the interests and activities of others.

David Caesar-Dare and Deb Meisels present an overall picture of social network services—what they are, how one participates, the impact on society today, and the benefits and risks of online socializing. Live demonstrations of some of the more popular online tools will be given.

Westchester PC-Renew
A project of WPCUG
 We rebuild used computers and provide them free to groups in the community who can't afford to purchase new ones.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?
1. Donate Your Old Equipment
We need donations of used computers with at least a  1GHz Pentium III or equivalent AMD processor. We provide an IRS tax letter for your contribution. Call to learn if we can take your computer and arrange for a drop-off.
2. Donate Your Time
You can also donate time. You don't have to be a computer expert, but you must be a member of WPCUG. Come to Stepinac High School, 950 Mamaroneck Avenue, White Plains, in the basement Electronics Lab. Learn how to rebuild computers. We’ll teach you.

Web 2.0 Expo was launched to connect the builders of the web with the brightest minds, hottest ideas, and most valuable tools - and with each other. New York has long been where the world's biggest industries go online, and as Web 2.0 grows up and gets serious, the time is right to convene the East Coast web communities under the umbrella of the next generation web. It's time to come together to learn, share and network. And it's time to celebrate the size, power, and innovation of the East Coast web industry.

Web 2.0 Expo is for the builders of the next generation web: designers, developers, entrepreneurs, marketers, business strategists, and venture capitalists, people who have experiences to share and a passion for learning - the hot new thing, lessons from failures, innovations and inspirations, and the practical applications of all of the above.

If you are interested in attending Web 2.0 Expo New York this fall (Sept 16-19), you can get a code for a free pass in the members section of our website. More info and registration at: http://en.oreilly.com/webexny2008/public/content/home
