Have you listened to your younger relatives and wonder what they’re talking about when they mention Facebook or Twitter and talk about Skyping someone? Social networking is increasingly referred to in the media with expectations that everyone knows what it’s all about.

This book explores these issues and demystifies the jargon so that you can be in control.

This guide walks you through the process of joining and participating in a number of different networks for a variety of opportunities and purposes. The book explores how to make the most of the facilities the networks offer, to communicate with family and friends, old and new. It also explores how to set up your own community or use the technology to organise events, meetings, or just to keep in touch with what is going on.

Social Networking for Seniors In Easy Steps is for anyone who is intrigued by the opportunities the Internet now brings to share ideas and experiences with people anywhere and wants to know just how to best be involved.
