Libraries and Social Networks - Thing # 20

This unit explored social networks, which incorporate many of the tools we’ve already covered -blogging, photo and video sharing, internal e-mail, message boards, and IM. I did set up a profile in Facebook. Somehow in doing so, I generated a request that will be sent to my 20 year old nephew, who probably won't want me viewing his information. He does seem to be having a good time at college. I found most of the groups to be of interest to college/high school students. I joined a runnning group, but found mostly information that was not relavent to the sport. I did "write on the wall". I honestly have no reason to use this type of site.
