#4 Social Networking

I've once again been educated by participating in this course, not having any knowledge of social networking before. I'd heard of the phrases "facebook", "twitter" etc, so it's been good to learn more about it. I was motivated to register on face book having just recieved an email from an ex-high school friend (who is organising a school reunion) who has just registed details on face book. I had been a bit reluctant with the poor media coverage it had just recieved, but I bit the bullet and registered - too easy.
The application for libraries would be limitless, being able to link groups, promote events and the list goes on. In an age when half the population spend a lot of time on the internet and not so much out and about socialising, its the next best thing for socialization of some sort for those isolating themselves in their homes in front of a screen.
Until next time!
