Social Networking sites

"My name is Infamous Rambler. I'm an addict - I have been off Bebo for one week" *polite applause & murmurs of encouragement*

Shouldn't this be the catch cry for the phenomenon that is social networking! You are accesible and connected with your friends & family no matter where you live on this Earth, well maybe not Antartica or the Arctic but bar those popsicle places pratically anywhere on this planet. You can share photos, play games against one another, share quiz results, rant & rave, practically reveal everything about yourself if you choose to through these sites. Or you can make up an entirely different persona.

Where do you draw the line for privacy???

Web 2.0 - where will it take libraries?

Is it me or has Dr Wendy Schultz been watching too many Star Trek episodes? Her model of progression for libraries as Commodity->Product->Service->Experience under Web 2.0 could indicate she has attended one 'Armageddon' convention too many. The advent of the computer and the explosion of the internet and the vast information one has access to from it is amazing. It is the assumption, however that every library has access to this technology which concerns me. I could expand my point but after reading it um, edit! - because is sounded so 'righteous'. Peace! Go the All Blacks!!! Do you think they'll do Kapa o Pango this weekend?
