Week 5 Social Networking
I had a look at both these services. Unfortunately the computer was running v. slowly and so the MySpace page for Yarra Plenty was jerky and couldn't be appreciated in all its glory. I could see how it would be an asset in reaching "the yoof" and portraying the library as a mulimedia/social focal point in the community. Facebook is also intriguing and I know a few people with very sophisticated and active accounts. I did start a profile but got too shy to put in too much info. I really don't have the time or energy to be interacting much on line in a personal way but could see the benefit of professional applications.
I've also just had a look at Yarra Valley's "Yoof space" and my computer had a fit when it saw what was there and "froze" and I couldn't get it to move about the site. So I convinced it to look at the forums tabs..comedy..and had a minor stroke myself..it seems that the links go out into myspace world at large and there was some rather cheeky stuff about someones intimate apparel. I'm getting scared and I haven't even looked at the homework....Blue Hills was never THAT blue!
