The San Andreas Chapter, which encompasses Silicon Valley, has moved forward with a suite of 21st-century web tools to foster communication and community among the San Andreas membership. These tools include:
- Typepad, a blog creation/hosting service to present, preserve and manage current and persistent content;
- Google Calendar for our events and for events from other area chapters, etc. Calendar content can be used by members via direct use (iCal standard or linking from their own Google Calendar);
- Feedburner RSS feed with "add-ons" for imbedding other content; provides an email service where people can sign up to get blog posts by email;
- Del.icio.us for creating and sharing bookmarks of relevant web content with Chapter members
In addition to a presentation by blog co-editors Mary-Lynn Bragg and Claudia Cohen, Michael Sippey of TypePad will be our special guest speaker.
