Explore Myspace and Facebook

Myspace - looked at 2 libraries using Myspace Baltimore Law Library and Brooklyn College Library. Baltimore Law Library just seems to replicate a web page, not very exciting, Brooklyn's seems more interactive. It could be potentially very useful for childrens' and young adult activities in public libraries - with art work reviews by readers etc. Chicago Public Library have a link to a 'teen space' where their friends include authors, who discuss and promote their books.

Facebook - joined facebook. I think I could find this quite useful, keeping in touch with family overseas, viewing their photos etc. However looking at my nephew's site, he was kind enough to invite me to be his friend, do I want to know quite so much about his life ? I added the 'what vegetable are you' application and was very disappointed to find I was a pumpkin. Joined a group 'I luv Kews dancing man'.
