Social networking is something that I have experience with, unlike a lot of the other Web 2.0 tools. I have accounts on both MySpace and Facebook, though primarily use Facebook. I must say though, it took me awhile to jump onto the facebook wagon. I do not feel the need to be in touch with others 24/7. I do not even have a cell phone!! Probably one of the only people out there that don't. My husband and I do have trac phones that we keep in the car for emergencies and quick calls if we have a question for somebody. They do come in handy .... Anyway, I digress.
Once I joined Facebook, I was amazed at how much fun it was connecting with people that I haven't seen or heard from in years. It is interesting (and kinda nosey as well) to see what is going on with people you knew in high school and/or college. It's also a quick way to drop multiple people a line without having to go into your email account and email them all separately. Within the library system, this could come in handy to join in various discussions with other librarians from anywhere in the world. You can find people on there that you didn't even know existed . . .
