Social Networking 20

I've been on facebook for several years now. I was an undergrad when the site began as a college based social site, and signed up then. While I'm on both facebook and myspace, I rarely use myspace anymore. It was the site that my friends who had not gone to college were on, and that was my primary reason for having a page on there. Now, everyone is able to have a facebook page and thus, I don't need to go to myspace :)

My reasons for liking facebook over myspace:
  • I can access it from the library. (myspace was blocked by our library system)
  • Less spam.
  • Less virus threat.
  • Don't have to worry about making my page "look cool"
  • I don't have to worry about what random images or adds that are posted to my comments/wall
  • The list pretty much ends there...
The library and Social Networking:
The library I work for currently has one page that users can be fans of. I believe they are about to pilot a branch level page in which the staff at one of the branches gets to post their own events and pictures to their own page. If this turns out well, I may be doing this at my branch.
