Week Three Social Networking

This was my very first experience with social networking so I think I was holding my breath during all the exercises! Facebook was especially fun because I found so many colleagues. I think that MLA committees and other units might find these tools useful, but I'm not sure they would be anymore useful than a blog.

Linkedin wasn't nearly as much fun as Facebook. It seemed like it was primarily for job seekers but I plan to explore it a little more.

I've thought about Facebook as an application for the hospital where I work as perhaps a way for people to find others with certain skills. Right now there is a database being developed for that purpose but I wonder if Facebook might be more fun?

The Denver Public Library MySpace was kind of creepy to me. Maybe if they had one for Boomers I might feel differently ; - )
