Thing 20: Libraries and Social Networks

Well, I did it signed on to Facebook. I kept my account for 3 months to give myself time to explore the whole social networking phenomenon. Some people found me and to be honest I would have gotten by not ever reconnecting with them. I joined a few social groups just to test things out. I feel comfortable in my original position that I have no interest in going further. I would much rather be talking in person to someone or being outside or reading a book.

I thought I read recently that "old" people are taking over Facebook so that it is now uncool to be on Facebook?

Only one other person from my high school had signed up on Facebook. However, there were a number of people from two classes behind. I wonder if that is a generational thing?

I chose Facebook because I find MySpace to be geared towards young adults. It is full of ads and widgets and loads slowly. How long before Facebook is littered with ads? I liked the library sites we were directed to view, especially where authors could leave comments.
