Thing 20

Facebook


Which groups did you join and why? I joined Librarians and Facebook. It sounded like it could be interesting - not formal like ALA.
Reflect on why Facebook may be the fastest growing social network. Is that reputation deserved? One reason that it is the fastest growing is because "everyone is doing it". Part of the reputation is deserved but, as in a lot of things these days, it is blown out of proportion.

MySpace


How are libraries using MySpace? They are using it to get themselves "out there" primarily with the young.
Did you find anything on a library's MySpace page that would be useful for your library? Probably the same things Denver and Hennepin have done. Wonder how they find the time...

If you created your own MySpace page, how do you plan to use it? I wasn't that ambitious!
