Hello everyone…!

I’ve created a account on Twitter for our user group.  If you don’t know what Twitter is, check out the website here.  This is another nice tool to stay updated with the groups postings.  The one thing that I like is you can have updates sent to your cell phone..!!

So if you’re on Twitter, start following SMSWUG.  If you aren’t on Twitter, check it out.

Our new website is almost done.  I want to thank Neil and everyone else at Minnesota Drafting and Design Inc. for their sponsorship.
