Activities #13 & #14 Myspace and Facebook

I could not get excited about what these two sites had to offer.  Firstly with Myspace, the Listen to audio link was "not available" and when I clicked on the link "How libraries are using Myspace", I "m taken to the Myspace site and log in, only to see the message: "Myspace Group is getting an upgrade".

With Facebook I came with a preconceived belief that too much time is flittered away with trivial messaging.  I have resisted the temptation to get an account but will concede that I could use it when travelling for example, to keep in touch  (photos/news etc)

When I tried looking at the Ning link on the Web 2.0 blog, I got a message: "The page you are looking at doesn't exist".  A slow internet connection doesn't help either.

I don't wish to be negative, but these sites hold little interest for me - I would much rather speak to some face to face or on the phone. (am I showng my age?)

The 7 things you should know about facebook is a must to read and I hope anyone signing up for an account does so.  The section on Digitl Citizenship is particularly worthwhile.
