Facebook - Thing 8


I had set up a facebook account many months ago at the encouragement of a friend. I wasn’t sure I really wanted or needed one at this time but he was sure I needed to set one up. So I succumbed to a little peer pressure. Later, I searched for a few friends, not finding them including the friend who suggested that I set up a fb, I quickly dismissed it, until now. It was amazing that I actually remembered the password.

I have a myspace account that I set up a couple of years ago when my daughter was a preteen and just starting to get into the social networking with school friends. I had fun with it for several months but it eventually lost its novelty. I rarely log in anymore.

Personally, I think that fb may befall the same fate as myspace. Professionally, it may be more useful in networking and advertising programs and events at your library especially to teens and young adults. I will have to wait and see.
