Q&A Laptop Cafe - A free tasting and sampling of SOCIAL MEDIA

Aug. 13, 2009 - PRLog -- If you are a small business owner, chances are you really make use of your laptop and the internet.  And, you probably run into computer snafus or challenges where you'd love to ask someone in-the-know for a quick solution.  Here is your opportunity to have a roomful of computer experts, business owners, and social media users at your disposal.   Ask away!

This is an informal event. There are no "presentations", we just sit at small tables and share information about social media. There will be an expert at each table so you can ask questions. The tables have labels for Twitter, LinkedIn, facebook, etc so you can bounce around to get what you need.

Come and learn with us - social web strategies - facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and more! Plus, if you have questions about Outlook, websites, blogs, photoshop, or other computer questions, you are sure to find an expert here to help you out.
