ECA Social Networking
The Entertainment Consumers Association (ECA) believes that social networking allows users to make a tangible and impactful difference, often on a global scale. An individual, cause or group can use social networking to expand, raise money and awareness, and make a difference for a particular issue or cause.
These sites are the modern world’s water coolers, online gathering places where users connect with friends and join communities of like-minded people to communicate and organize regardless of geographic boundaries. They generally allow various ways for users to interact; since direct peer to peer connectivity is the power of these networks, and most allow chatting, messaging, email, video, voice chat, file sharing, blogging, discussion groups and for users to create profiles.
Wherever possible, we're happy to facilitate networking and discussion amongst gamers; where people of similar interests can meet other like-minded friends. We hope to further empower ECA supporters on these networks, creating alerts and action items to for them to support or fight legislation that affects gaming.
Please show your support and “friend” the ECA on the following social networking sites:
