Well Twitter was something I joined a few weeks ago just to see what it was like...I will be honest I haven't done much with it since then other than a few people I decided to follow (mainly celebrities). I like it but I am not as active on it as I am on Facebook. As for Twitter's search feature, I do see a benefit of showing patrons that feature as a way to look for stories (especially if it is a prominent story, etc.) and having the link in the twitter feed is a very useful part of that feature.
As for Facebook, I love it...a great way to reconnect with old friends, keep up to date with current friends, etc and if I had to have a complaint, its the overabundance of games, ads and such on there which I understand are the lifeblood of the site. Otherwise, I love social networking and see more good than bad to come from it. I think that our patrons may have questions about certain features and such of Facebook (like uploading a picture, etc.) and that it would be beneficial to have maybe a FAQ created so that it can address such concerns.
FAQ, eh? Gosh, if there was only someone in a position of responsibility for computer learning who might whip up such a thing? Wouldn't that be incredible? :-P
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, did you select this pretty pink theme because it would actually be a nightmare to a spider?
