Except I have one sister living in Toronto, Canada, one brother living in rochester with his wife and their five kids, one sister in Germany with his husband and their daughters.

Week 8 -Social Networking-my experience

There are four questions to answer but I will answer them in all together. I am so stunned and flattered with all those social websites that I will share with you my impressions:
I browsed all of them and I will stick with "Facebook" and "My space". Actually I was already in facebook because I was invite from one of my nieces in Colombia. They started to send me notifications, and I finally accepted and I start to go around. Friends from Scotland have found me on Facebook. It is really neat. friends that I have lost contact before, they found me. it is cool to keep contact with them again through Facebook. So Facebook and my space apeals me and I will keep using facebook. I will use flickr. I love it.
Libraries: How can be used? well this IS REALLY AMAZING after listening the video from Michael Porter, I added the application "UIUC Library Search" to my facebook account and I can find any book that I want to look for. It will be great having the Beaufort Library will have that widget search to add to facebook so all patrons can see the catalogs of books, our latest releases on dvd, audiobooks, or magazines.
Perhaps, this is a crazy idea: Beaufort Library website having a platform as facebook and all patrons can see events, books, in one site and they can share any thoughts abouts books in one place. I know I am just having crazy ideas.
Well how all those social websites are so popular amongs teens ?. Actually teens are energetic and enthusiastic to research, I see my oldest nieces, they always love to go the internet, teaching my stuff, they were the ones that introduce to facebook. and reading the wikepedia, most of the those social websites, were primarily created for college students and then they were expanded abroad college boundaries.
I really want to see that I opened an account in myspace, I liked it a lot the beaufort county library myspace. it is really cool.

Another tip from Flickr

the last option of the flickr "spell with flickr" is really neat. you can find how write correct words, grammar stuff...
