If you are in Missoula, come join us tonight, May 13 at 5:00 p.m., at the Missoula Art Museum. Jonathan Weber of NewWest is hosting The Secrets of Social Networking, a discussion including myself, Hank Green of Eco Geek and Nerdfighters.com, and Courtney Lowery of NewWest.

If you’re reading this story, you’re probably Internet-savvy enough to know that the hottest thing online is “social networking.” Facebook and MySpace are the kingpins of this phenomenon, but social networking happens in all kinds of ways and in all kinds of places on the Web. And if you think social networking is mostly about flirting and dating, well, you’d be surprised.

Here in Missoula, Hank Green of EcoGeek, Steven Sundheim of Modwest and Grupthink, and our very own Courtney Lowery have been at the forefront of the social networking phenomenon. In addition to the highly successful EcoGeek blog, Hank has created a hugely popular social network called Nerdfighters. Steven and his compatriots at the Web hosting company Modwest have built a unique social Web site called Grupthink. Courtney, for her part, is in charge of all things community here at NewWest.Net and has dipped her toes in almost everything new on the Web.

Please join Hank, Steven and Courtney for a discussion and, yes, networking reception on what online social networking can mean for you, your business, and your social circle. It happens May 13 at 5:00 p.m. at the Missoula Art Museum. Please call 406-829-1725 for more information, or email info@newwest.net We look forward to seeing you there.
