Alec Tritton will be talking on -

Family History Communication in the 21st Century – Blogging, Social Networking and Ezines 

 Session 4B, 15.15-16.15

The digital world is changing; no longer is it sufficient to just put up a static website as there are more people using YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and other Social Networking sites than search the Internet daily. The search engines today prefer blogs with regular fresh new content. This creates a challenge to the average family historian wishing to make their genealogies available to the widest audience on the World Wide Web. This lecture will help to explain how these new uses of the Internet can be used for family history.
