Week 7 ... Thing 17 ... Bebo bebop, MySpace Mutiny, and Facebook Surprise

I'm already well-acquainted with social networking sites. I've been a member of Facebook for all of a month or so after all. I'm a veritable expert! So I looked at the Auckland City Library person's Bebo page and found it was a slightly cooler looking Facebook.

I looked at MySpace and decided I was either far too tired or far too confused to do anything with it. I did do a search for my favourite band but their page had a picture at the back that made anything on top of it hard to see, so I gave up.

As I mentioned before, I'm already a member of Facebook. I use it to keep in touch with relatives and friends overseas and to play Scrabble with my cousin in Christchurch. I looked at the Hennepin County Library page too and in terms of a good profile, it's got the physical address, website, catalogue search tool, pretty pictures that make it seem like a warm, inviting place, and people have actually posted some comments too! Bonus.
