What is social networking? Five years ago would you have been able to answer that question? Can you now?

What's the deal with sites like MySpace and Facebook? Why are so many teens, young people, music groups connected to these sites online? What are the pros and cons of establishing pages on these sites? What do you as a parent need to know about the security issues surrounding these sites? Are they easily accessible to predators?

Get the answers to all these questions and more at Buffalo.com's next community workshop: Social Networking 101. It will be held on Thursday, November 13 at
The Buffalo News at 6:30pm. Admission is FREE.

So who will be answering all these mind-boggling questions?

Michael Stefanone will be the event's primary speaker. He's an Asssistant Professor of Communication at the State University of New York at Buffalo (UB), and his research centers on human computer interaction and the social implications of blogs and sites like MySpace and Facebook. He's going to explore the ins and outs of social networking and its impact on people just like you.

A panel of local social networking website founders and "experts" will also be taking your questions and answers. We'll be joined by WNYMedia.Net founder Chris Smith, BuffaloMe.com founder Anthony Diciembre and Buffalo News reporter Stephen Watson.

It should be an evening to get all your questions answered. Plus, light refreshments will be served.

If you'd like to sign up for the event, you can either email me or Ben Kirst at Buffalo.com, or you can call us: 849-4527 or 849-4627.

Until next time...

Deanna
