2012..... When will the changes end!!!!!

March already and this is the first post for 2012.
Just when you think you have worked out how to run an interesting Face book "Fan / Like" page what do they do ...give you "Timeline".
I have been resistant in changing my own personal page to the new Timeline format as I am a creature of habit,and not keen on some of the features in the new format.My days are numbered and I am left wondering if I will bother at all.
This new format will create new sessions on Face book use for our community.


This resistance will have to be overcome as they have announced "Timeline " for our "Fan/Like" pages at the end of March.
As this is my main vehicle for letting people know what is happening in our Neighbourhood House, I will have to do some pretty quick research.
Easy... I posted in the "FacingIT" https://www.facebook.com/groups/204058342947209/ face book page assured of an answer,

So I have begun looking at all the new options.....finding the time is the problem.

Many of our senior community members are purcashing laptops ,they are discovering they are compact and portable. Laptops are also very affordable and the use of a dongle with pay as you go Internet a welcome bonus.
Current popular classes offered
  • how to use your new laptop and all its features
  • Skype (as most laptops come with a built in camera)
  • Sending emails and searching the net
We have been offering Skype sessions for as far back as 4 to 5 years ...we were ahead of our time, and we had very little interest. We now are running several classes with waiting lists.
