Facebook

After hearing Stephen Abram (Stephen's Lighthouse)http://stephenslighthouse.sirsidynix.com/ speak at the Library 2.0 workshop I attended a week ago, I was convinced that I should sign up for one of the social networking sites although I can't remember why. Yesterday Facebook showed up as number 106 on the blog Stuff White People Like http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/ That was all the convincing I needed and last night I signed up for my own account. I haven't added much to it in the way of personal information but I'm there. I searched my niece Erin and asked her to be my friend but haven't heard back. She may still be in Madagascar or she may have too many friends already.

Week 8: #18 Social Networking: Making friends in the comfort of your own home

This week's video is great.
For the assignment, I looked at MySpace, Rate My Space, and Dogster. My dog Sparky, with my help, created a web page on dogster. Then we added the dogster space to this blog for easy access.
Rate my space is one of my favorite sites because I love HGTV and decorating and it's fun to see what other people have done. I may add some pictures of some of my projects to it later.
I personally don't have a need for the other social networking sites but can see that they might be fun and useful for others.
