Sofia is Growing up






Just an updated picture of Sofia - it appears that she likes hats just like her grandfather.

Social Networking

I think that both Myspace and Facebook are great for social interraction. I think that it may be hard to use this as a library tool as many of the young people who use Myspace do not consider us as being a must have contact. We would also have to take the time to constantly update information and respond to inquiries - this would have to be a new procedure like opening the front door. I have had a personal Myspace page for a couple of years and can go for months without looking at it.

I do believe that we need to find other ways of reaching out and this may be it?

meebo.com

meebo.com - I'm not so sure that I would use this for personal use. I can see the advantages of having this available for library users - access to information at the touch of a icon would be great. So much better than calling or going to the library for some people - especially young people that are comfortable communicating in this manner. At home my instant messenger is primarily set up so that my grandson can find out quickly - without leaving his myspace account - what I'm making for dinner.

RSS Feeds

This is so exciting - one of the biggest complaints about the WEB is that you just get taken in so many directions - to be able to choose your path or have the path choose you is great. I am going to work on getting a page set up to be my HOME page at home.
