Thursday 8th January 2009

Social networking has become ever more popular over the last few years, and has revolutionised the way we communicate, network and share information with one another.

We have set up a womenintechnology group on both Facebook and Linked In to expand our network of members and to enable existing members to network with each other outside of womenintechnology events.
   

Facebook

Facebook is a social utility that connects you with the people around you. We're planning on using the group to inform members about upcoming events and training sessions and we're also hoping it will act as a discussion forum for issues concerning women in IT.

If you are already a member of Facebook and would like to join the womenintechnology group please click here or if you are not already a member of Facebook but would like to be, please click here.

As the group page is new it is looking a bit bare at the moment so we would love your input - whether that's your comments on the discussion posts, feedback from our events and training sessions or any other way you would like to contribute to the page

 

LinkedIn

LinkedIn is an online network of more than 20 million experienced professionals from around the world, representing 150 industries. Their aim is to make you more effective in your daily work and open doors to opportunities using the professional relationships you already have. When you join, you create a profile that summarises your professional accomplishments. Your profile helps you find and be found by former colleagues, clients and partners.

If you are already a member of LinkedIn and would like to join our group, please go to click here or if you are not a member of LinkedIn but would like to be please click here.

 

Blogs

A blog is a website or forum which is usually maintained by an individual regarding a particular topic / theme. The blogger will make regular entries of commentary, discussion suggestions, events, or even graphics or videos.

We’ve listed below some links to IT related blogs... please contact us if you would like your blog to feature in our listing.
