free webinars on social networking

Chaos To Clarity.comThis is especially for Nancy, having to slog through 2 big For Dummies books, but also everyone,  I highly recommend the savvy young(ish) women who run this company and give away a lot of their expertise.  (One of them also teaches it at a local univ.)  I heard them speak to the Entrepreneurial Special Interest Group of the DC PC-Users Group on the subject of Internet research and was amazed at what I didn't know and they did.  I've signed up for the 2 freebies at the top of this list myself - see ya online?  Susan
