Week 5: Social Networking July 19, 2008

Thing 10:  Wow! Exploring Facebook and MySpace took a lot longer than I thought. I really got caught up in the searching and started looking for friends and family. I couldn’t bring myself to register. It feels sooo public! I have always been fine just meeting people in “real” life and can only be friends to so many people at one time anyway. It seems like our bodies are going to become more sedentary as everything we used to move around and do, we can now accomplish at the computer.

Thing 11: Like I mentioned before, I couldn’t bring myself to put in a page. But I would love to see how to do it and experience that.  Can you take it off at any time?

How would this work in your library? Good question! I did look at a couple of the examples presented. I would need to look at these further and have more experience with these social networks in order to determine how this may fit into a school library setting, if it would. Wow, very interesting!
