#22 Thing

I was slightly familiar with MySpace, since I hear so many people talking about it. My daughter and son-in-law, and my son and daughter-in-law have MySpace sights, so I had asked them just what they were all about. It was interesting to check out all of the sites that are in the Learning 2.0 lesson. I can see how having a sight could be addictive, which concerns me a little, but there are certainly worse things to be addicted to!! As long as it doesn't consume your thoughts and actions too much, I guess it's harmless. I can see good points and bad points to these social networking sites. They having the potential of bringing out the "best" and "worst" in people. The only way I can see that they would be very useful in the workplace is if you would share ideas with other library workers. I can't see me doing that any time soon, but who knows??
