June'\;s meetup will be more focused on business\, particularly a discussion on how each of us is dealing with tough times\, and what we are doing to get through it. Most members who have participated in previous roundtables of this nature take away at least 3 money-saving ideas that they put to use within a week or two. Customer retention\, service delivery\, and other ways that each of us is using to get through these fun times will be a large focus of the discussion. We'\;ll also present a couple of case studies\, courtesy of American Express\, our meetup sponsor\, who did a recent roundtable similar to our June meetup. Come\, bring your ideas\, questions\, and enthusiam! We look forward to seeing you there.http\://rinexus.com/calendar/5551/providence-entrepreneur-june-meetup-evening

But many people still have questions\: what exactly does '\;web 2.0'\; mean?where did this phenomenon come from?why does this matter to me and my organization or business?how do I move forward? Blogs\, Wikipedia\, Facebook\, Twitter\, Second Life and even eBay are all part of the same wave of innovation that lets individuals cluster around topics of interest - no matter where in the world they are. These clusters often generate better information faster than corporate sources or the mainstream media. As a result\, corporate and organizational interests must play catch-up with an evolving phenomenon that is\, frankly\, very foreign to their culture. Some have adapted well. Others\, not so much. Why? This workshop demystifies both the technology and the phenomenon with simple explanations in down-to-earth language. Then small and large group discussions help you work through the issues and internalize what you'\;ve learned. No special knowledge is necessary. This workshop serves as the prerequisite to later hands-on sessions in the New Horizons computer lab.http\://rinexus.com/calendar/5543/introduction-social-media-web-2-0-blogging-part-i-ii

The club is open to all\, from beginners to experts. Artists\, students\, teachers\, programmers\, hobbyists\, and the \\"just-curious\\" are welcome.

Before the meeting adjourns\, we'\;ll get beginners up and running and determine the summer schedule for meetings.http\://rinexus.com/calendar/5806/pd-club-1st-meeting
