where the writers are

Social Media Newbie

Well, I have just discovered the wonders of the social networks... Too late? Hope not, I want to share you a feed where you can keep track of my doings:

I won't forget redroom with all of my new discoveries, but I instead I invite you to take a look at the endless posibilities these have. I started this because I heard Barack Obama used the internet socially to get his word out, and it seems it helped him.

So, if you've got something to say...

This is the moment to speak it out!

There are tons of social networks, here is a site I found with 300 networking sites:

I think that for the redroom bookworm users, who don't want to read about the 300 sites above, these three sites can be useful:

http://www.goodreads.com/

http://www.librarything.com/

I hope you have fun!

Too many options for one lifetime.

Lina, this is scary. It's culture shock for those of us who remember life before computers. I get overwhelmed if I receive more than five pieces of spam at one time.

I am lost on the internet, maybe I'm just to old

I thought the internet was suppose to make our lives easier? Blogging and networking is so confusing and time consuming.

Community

One advantage of the internet, Janice, is that communities like Red Room are created in order to help "newbies" find their feet. We help one another out and learn how to navigate all this new technology together. Please email support@redroom.com if there's anything I can do to help you build your Member Page here. I'm looking forward seeing how you use Red Room to connect with other writers and share your work.

Thank you

I'm looking forward to making use of Red Room in the very near future. My mother was just diagnosed with cancer so I will be putting my plans on hold for a few more weeks while we deal with this terrible issue. Thank you for the offer of assistance in building my member page, I'm sure I will be needing it.
