squeakums is unhappy and I'm not impressed...
(some time later)
The Bebo page set up by someone at Auckland City Libraries (here) looks kinda cool. I could see how social network services could be a tool for YA librarians to stay connected to our YA patrons. Come to think about it, accounts for the "All Stars" and "Tusitara Club" on one of those social network services could be set up too, or a wiki could be used in running those groups in the future, maybe?
I couldn't be bothered with setting up new accounts for Bebo, MySpace and Facebook... so I had a quick look from the outside, and they were pretty much the same. I do have a FaceBook account though, I finally signed up to that under "peer pressure" at the beginning of this year. It's a convenient and somewhat fun way to keep in touch with people travelling or overseas and for sharing photos, but that's about it. Of course there are plenty of applications up there such as online games, quizzes and the like, but I really don't have the time for that. Correction, I'd much rather using the time I have doing something else! Oh, and I suppose it is one way of meeting new people as well.
I shall comment on Hennepin County Library's page on Facebook later.
