Some photos from the last meeting.

Hi everyone! I shared these photos on the BGAMUG Facebook site too. I took some more photos, but they did not all come out. These are photos from the last meeting that took place in January.

Here are the three that did come out:

This is one of Ray's slide shows, using Moviemaker.

Some new YouTube videos about Facebook privacy

Tweet


I was helping a friend today who had gotten off of Facebook because of privacy concerns. Of course, I wanted to let her know about the new Facebook privacy options in case she wanted to go back to Facebook.
I found three videos on YouTube that I shared with her. Now I can share them here with you. Three experts tell about what Facebook has in terms of security, and also what they do not have.
Here is one link:

And another:
Facebook privacy settings - what you need to know:

And another good one:

I think the best advice anyone can give about Facebook, and about the whole web in general is NOT to post anything online that you would not put on a public postcard. In other words, Facebook is just The Internet configured for ease of use. 
But I think it is a lot of fun anyhow!

BGAMUG meeting is tomorrow, Tuesday, August 24th, 2010 at 6:30 p.m..

Hi all!

This is Betsy, the BGAMUG Club's Webmaster. This meeting should be very interesting tomorrow. We will be learning about files and folders. Jerry will tell the members and guests how he keeps his computer files organized. His presentation is called Creating, Naming, and Organizing Folders.

Also, it is that time again to elect new officers. Do you want to run for office? There are a few openings for people to run for office this year. This is a good way to meet other members, bounce ideas off each other, and help the club too. You are needed. The club does a lot of good things, and this is your chance to give back and give of yourself.

There are open nominations this meeting, so plan to speak up if you are interested. The meeting is held here:
Place:Bowling Green Technical College, 1845 Loop Street, Building F, Bowling Green, Kentucky. A sign will be posted, and there is plenty of room there.

As usual, guests are very welcome, so if you are thinking of attending, tomorrow is a very good time.

See you there!
