Thing 6: Social Networks 1

I looked at MySpace and was completely turned off by the chaos of the homepage and particularly the chaos of the sample pages I looked at (leopard spot backgrounds, etc.). Facebook is much more appealing, and is where all the other academic librarians I know are hanging out. So I joined FB and created my own profile there (very easy) and immediately added two friends (biomedical librarians from UC San Diego) and started chatting with them about how they are using FB. One of them has also listed her del.icio.us bookmarks in her FB profile too, which is inspiring me to care more about that (thing 9) as well. I also did look at Ning and didn't get how it was any better than FB where you can also create groups.
