Would anyone be interested in a group on Social Media?

I'm a complete noob at it and facing a steep learning curve. I'd love to sit at the online feet of DUers who use it regularly, and learn how to be an effective user.

Any interest?

hopefully,
Bright

I remain wanting to learn more...great idea!

edit: I have so-o many questions....see that little
smilie above...that's about as social as I get online!
I have a FB page but I hate it over all because I
find it confusing to navigate. Home? Wall? News Feed?
Seems so disconnected to me. Help!

use Twitter, and blog regularly - and feel like I can raise both positive and negative points about it - it is worth a group, since it is the present and won't go away any time soon!

The CH and S group is as good a place as any for Facebook, Twitter, and other sorts of questions. The Lounge is also hospitable toward such posts.

Maybe expand the SOP to social media and move in? Quicker than geting a new group up at the moment...
(Also: I might be interested.

Twitter is an excellent source for news junkies. It's the only social media site that I use regularly.

Tweet me sometime.
