Interesting article re: promoting Web 2.0 to narrow digital divide
Update to my Social App threshold
I should mention that I'm finally on Facebook as well.
The tipping point for me was working extra shifts at the combined high school/public branch library at my MPOW, where I was talking with the full-time librarian, who said he fielded questions from the students via Facebook on a daily basis.
So I guess I can handle 3 online profiles after all.
And, of course, there's no comparision between Facebook and MySpace: FB is far more user-friendly and robust.

I'm begining to cotton on to Twitter
Last night, I read Rochelle's post, Collegiality in Twitter (see [http://rochellejustrochelle.typepad.com/copilot/2007/03/collegiality_in.html]), in which she described two cases where Twitter was very useful for professional and academic work. It was quite a compelling post.

Having said that, I think I'll continue visiting MySpace and using that whenever I'm compelled to post or link to anything. Despite all its drawbacks, it's the best fit for me, g…

Hello Library 2.0
Well, Rochelle aka TinFoilRaccoon first directed my attention towards this network. Then, moments later I saw Kathryn Greenhill's March 5th post on her librariansmatter.com blog.
The Library 2.0 Ning Network sure looks nifty and has great credentials, so I've decided to join.
Not sure how much I'll do here personally though...How many social sites can you participate in before you implode? Reminds me of the co-operative sector in that regard...
At any rate; hello Library…

You are right the first browser was not netscape, and mosaic comes to mind. Netscape was the first one i encountered. Larry
I agree about the insane number of social apps, but I've already found that I check in here frequently - just because of all the library-goodness. It's MySpace that I never visit...
Have a great day!
