Well I knew this was coming so I created a Facebook profile a few weeks ago. [at the strong urging from some of my co-workers that are actually doing the 23 Things in a more timely manor than myself]....anyway
WOW...what a blast from the past....I have people requesting to be my friend that I haven't seen or spoken to in 20 to 30 years (we moved around a lot when I was a kid!). The best part is adding my nephews since we haven't been emailing as much lately this is a great way to keep up with what is happening with them. Of course now I will have to remember to check my Facebook profile at least once a week from now on. I still haven't figured out some on the features yet but with time I will get there. I did join the Facebook group Librarians and Facebook.... I found the "12 Ways to Use Facebook Professionally" and "7 Things You Should Know About Facebook (pdf)" very interesting.
At one time our Library blocked MySpace so we could verify the person using it was over 17....what a pain that was constantly overriding the block to allow the old perverts to search for children who couldn't access their account at the library....what?!?!?! Never mind those days are over but I have noticed that some of the kids still watch for us over their shoulders to click onto a different screen as we walk by....makes you wonder what they are trying to get away with now! Anyway my impression of MySpace is forever tainted so I have no interest in creating a MySpace profile and since Facebook is the fastest growing social network I am happy to be a member.
