Society News: PCS Events
PCS is now on Facebook!
By Julia Williams
The Professional Communication Society is by nature a network where communication specialists can connect with others with similar interests. The networking potential of PCS has just gained an added dimension: PCS on Facebook!
Facebook is a social networking service used worldwide. Through the Facebook interface, users can build an online community with other people who share their interests and activities. PCS established a presence on Facebook during the International Professional Communication Conference 2009 in Honolulu, Hawaii.
During the conference, we used Facebook to post pictures from conference events, announce our keynote speaker, and keep PCS informed of conference activities. Anyone (not just members of PCS) can become a fan of PCS in order to connect with others, share photos, and network.
Even if you are new to Facebook, you can find PCS easily by typing Professional Communication Society of the IEEE into the Search box. Once you are there, be sure to become a Fan of PCS. That way you'll receive updates whenever new content is posted to the site.
When you get to the PCS site, be sure to take a look at pictures from the IPCC 2009 conference. You can also check the list of Fans to see if you know other fans. You can even invite colleagues to become a Fan of PCS. You can also post news about your communication-related event.
In the months to come, PCS on Facebook will grow as we gather more fans. We envision that PCS on Facebook is yet another way for members and non-members to connect and interact. We hope to see you on Facebook!
