Task 12 Explore MySpace and Facebook

Well I took the plunge and created an account so I could explore Facebook.

It certainly can be a place where all is revealed and it's easy to see how things can move beyond your control. So I decided just to keep a low profile and then see what develops. As well, I joined the Swinburne Library bikers users, one of the groups in facebook and made contact with several friends in the Swinburne network.

I found the Educause article listed as one of the discovery resources useful reading and it provided a helpful summary of Facebook.

It was interesting to browse a number of public libraries who have adopted Myspace profiles to link with teen users. A sign of the times as libraries need to keep in touch and relevant to their users.
