Lost in Myspace





I have done a walking tour of some of the Library Myspaces on the list and now feel very old. I can see a role for event promotion but it gets a bit lost in the "be my friend" networking and author self promotion. I eargerly clicked on the UCF Ask a Librarian - we use the "Ask a librarian" tag ourselves - but other than a quick service description it only offered more of the same.

Happy to admit I may be missing something and/or the solution is still waiting for a problem. I can't see much immediate value for this library.

Library 2.0 on ning has a bit more to offer- it has some structure, and a clearer purpose.
Signed up for Facebook as Ned Kelly - along with a lot of other "characters" using the name (I'm the talking horse one with 0 friends). It classified me as a State Government of Victoria employeee on the basis of my email address! Its not a paddock I expect to spend much time in.
