Social media is everywhere and keeping up with the news can be a challenge. On December 26, 2011, Stuart Smith, Website Director for Notre Dame College, and Dan Yurman, a marketing and communications specialist, of the Cleveland Digital Publishing User Group will offer an overview of all things Twitter, from use to measurement of influence and much more. Do you know who you are reaching or how the matrix of feed types can affect your message?
On January 17, 2012, the North Coast Mac Users Group will host Kerry Rego of Kerry Rego Consulting. Kerry will offer guidance on the basic uses of social media, tools currently in use and ones on the horizon that may be the “disruptors” that change the way we interact.
See what these members are learning.

Jon Jones, North Coast Mac Users Group (NCMUG) Board member and Video SIG leader, put together a short tribute video for the NCMUG Video SIG’s YouTube channel. Jon used clips from notable product unveilings by Steve Jobs, set to the Vangelis music used by Mr. Jobs for the introduction of the original Macintosh computer, along with additional backdrop imagery created by a visualization specialist at Twitter who collected tweets related to Steve Jobs’ passing. The image at the close of the video is an altered Apple logo repurposed as a tribute design for Steve Jobs and created by a 19-year old design student in Hong Kong.
