Parents, get a clue about social networking
Workshop planned Dec. 3
Are you clueless about Facebook and what might be posted on your teen's page?
John Maver, an expert in online social networking sites, including Myspace, Bebo and Facebook, will host a workshop for parents on Dec. 3.
The event, open to the public and organized by the Wood Hill Middle School Parent Advisory Council, will begin at 7 p.m. in the Wood Hill auditorium, 11 Cross St.
Maver will cover Facebook and social networking in general, how information spreads and who can see it, effective privacy settings and parent/child relationships.
Parents are welcome to send questions to Maver before the workshop by emailing john.maver@thoughtlabs.com.
Maver has been involved with the Facebook, Bebo, and MySpace platforms from the time they were released, and has written several successful applications. He has been a speaker at conferences and webinars about Facebook development and was the featured developer for the Bebo platform in the spring of 2008.
As cofounder and principal of Thought Labs, Maver has worked with small businesses and Fortune 100 companies to find the right goals, strategies, and implementations for their social media campaigns. He also co-authored the book "Essential Facebook Development: Build Successful Applications for the Facebook Platform," to be published by Addison-Wesley Professional this month.
