There’s always lots going on at CoWorking Fullerton. On Tuesday, February 23rd, we will be hosting the Social Media Club meet up and discussing the biggest social media tools for 2010.

We have seen an explosion of growth in the use of social media, the tools, the strategies and the people and companies involved in social media. We are going to review these new tools and discuss the value of it.  And to make this interactive, everybody gets 3 minutes to share their favorite new social media find for 2010.

Examples of Social Media tools we can discuss are:
Prezi, the powerpoint killer:
Google Wave:
Pip.io - what GoogleWave should have been:
FourSquare:

So, please prepare your fave find, and we will take 3-10 minutes (depending on how many people are presenting) after each short presentation to discuss the benefits of the tools and success stories before we move on. We have a Projector and screen available if you’d like to show a presentation or hook up your laptop to show online.

So come join us and network with industry experts, bounce ideas off each other, and enjoy the food & drinks.

This event is made possible with help from our sponsors. All event fees will be used to bring in talented speakers, top-notch educational panels, and extraordinary member events. So book your calenders and spread the word! Getting a diverse group of talented professionals will keep conversations interesting and expand knowledge across multiple industries.

SocialMediaClub is organized in various locations in the US for the purpose of sharing best practices, establishing ethics and standards, and promoting media literacy around the emerging area of Social Media. This is the beginning of a global conversation about building an organization and a community where the many diverse groups of people who care about Social Media can come together to discover, connect, share, and learn.

We are excited to announce the birth of a brand new chapter in Orange County. And we hope to have an interesting conversation with you about everything social media.

Great news! Thanks to Britney Spears we had to lower our prices! Just kidding

We changed our pricing from three different memberships into one single membership that is great for everyone.

Coworking is all about sharing anyway, so whether you come in every day or just a couple of times a month, there’s just one new low monthly membership fee:

Only $99 including desk/chair, Starbucks coffee, tea, cocoa, etc.
(in case you were wondering, we still got the day passes @ $20)

Sign up here:
How to apply for membership

We hope you like the price change, and look forward to meeting you!

We are open Mon-Fri 9-5. Find us in downtown Fullerton or call us 24/7 at 1-877-747-3263

As many companies are affected by the economy, lots of employees have been laid off recently. Many of them are looking for a new job, and others are starting for themselves. If you are starting for yourself read on, because we really want you to be successful and have a couple of ways we can help you get started.

First of all you will get a one month free coworking membership worth $150. This will ensure you have a desk, a place to meet with potential clients and work from a professional space in downtown Fullerton with really nice people.

Secondly we have arranged a 50% discount on insurance that you may need when you start for yourself! Because many get health insurance through their employer, you probably need that and you want to look into liability insurance too.

Thirdly we have arranged a 1 year free webhosting package including a .com domain - so you can publish a website for your business and get potential customers that way.

Then we have arranged a free coaching session with a professional business coach. That way you will become and stay focussed on the results that you want to achieve.

Finally, last month the county opened up a new office literally around the corner from our office, where you can file a fictitious business name statement as needed to file your DBA which you’ll probably want if you start for yourself.

So come on in and bring some proof that shows that you were laid off and you get all of this for free and get started fast!

What else should be for free or at a discount? All comments are welcome!
