Thing 21. Beyond MySpace: Other Social Networks

Gather, WebJunction & Ning.

I'm a member of Gather, but have not devoted anytime there. Most of my social group is on LiveJournal, so that's where I tend to devote my spare time.

And Gather is pushy. It's always asking me to join one group or another and there's a lot of commercial involvement. It annoys me.

I'm part of WebJunction, since it first appeared around here. I haven't been as active as I should be.

I joined Ning as soon as this project started, but hadn't heard of it before.

I joined Flixster, but use it via Facebook

I joined Last.fm, but don't use it much

LinkedIn is another group where I keep in touch with people I used to work with.

Thing 20. Libraries and Social Networks

I must confess, that since I'm not currently working as a librarian, Facebook is where I keep in touch with former colleagues. And friends from far away. And nearby. And family.

And I can quit anytime I want.

I have a MySpace page too, but I'm hardly active there.

I'm already a member of the ALA, Librarians and Facebook, and Library 2.0 Interest groups.

I just added HCL to my friends in MySpace.
