Lesson #8 Facebook, MySpace

I set up a Facebook account. I am not sure if I like doing it. Being a fairly private person, I felt a little intimidated writing about myself.

One thing I do like about Facebook is that it is connected to Yahoo and it automatically listed my Yahoo e-mail friends and asked if I would like to invite them. It also listed fellow Facebookers who went to my same college, same year. I found two people that I knew and now I can re-connect with them after 30 years!

One of my friends is traveling in Thiland and plans to upload his pictures and share them. I am looking forward to him accepting my invite and to seeing them.

I can see how libraries like Myspace and Facebook to connect with their different interest groups, especially the teen groups with Myspace. So many of them already use it and feel comfortable doing so. They can connect at home with the library staff and with each other. This can make the teen programs so much more flexable.
