myspace

i think that myspace is entirely relevant to libraries, especially because it is so relevant to our patrons. i think it's a great idea for kcls to have a myspace account, as well as separate accounts created by the teen librarians for individual libraries. facebook is different. even though high schools (and other groups) have been getting in, i think it is mostly still a school related site. it makes sense for it to be different from myspace in some way or another, and if that limits who can make accounts, than that is better.
i actually like facebook better. these different social networking sites remind me of free email accounts; you have an account for a little while, and then you start getting a bunch of spam. so far, my facebook account has been relatively spam-free. so hopefully it will remain that way. myspace seems incredibly juvenile compared to facebook, and i think it's because facebook tried for so long to be selective about who could create accounts.
i did not create a new myspace account for this, just browsed some of the features on mine. i haven't looked at it in quite some time. so that was entertaining. :P
