Thing 18. Facebook and My Space

I love Facebook when I can actually get to it. Had a bit of a password problem this week which has finally been resolved. If you look for Cynthia Jordan in Facebook you should find me!! As you can see, I have a variety of (at least 3) friends!! I have joined the "Librarians and Facebook" Group and I have posted my first message on their wall!

The ease and flexibility of Facebook is what I like. One can post pictures, videos, and messages that can be seen by a variety of folks. Facebook may be the fastest growing social network because it attracts the younger generation--in my opinion it is much less conservative looking than MySpace.

MySpace is also nice because I like music and My Space seems to attract alot of musicians. Librarians can use this to talk with their patrons and students! The librarians are already using MySpace to link to their library catalogs through Google. So students can find the library books they are looking for without having to leave MySpace. I may create a "space" there eventually.

For now, I am content with Facebook. I hope you enjoy my site and please be my friend there!!
