Thing 22 - What did I learn today?

I will try to post to this blog at times, just to keep up one skill anyway. There is a lot to learn in 23 things and I hope I can take more time in the future to learn them but at least I know they're out there.

The only way I learn is to use tools/sites daily. Whether I'll be able to use most of these tools is doubtful but I'll try to incorporate at least a couple into daily work life.

Thing 21 - Beyond MySpace: other social networks

View my page on 23 Things on a Stick


As mentioned in previous posts I see a lot of use for social networking in the library world since many, many people are comfortable with this new technology but it's not something that has a place in my personal life.

I took a look at another social networking site on collies. Lots of information and content but I have to wonder whether people realize that the information isn't necessarily correct. If I am researching a breed for my family I would certainly want to look at a source that I know to be expert. I guess that's the big danger I see with these sites: inexperienced people take the information found there as gospel when it probably isn't so.

Thing 20 - Libraries & social networks - Facebook

Well I invited a couple of friends and looked at some of the postings on the group I joined.

Again, I can see the use for library applications but don't feel a need for it in my personal life.
