friend networks

created a facebook account and that was easy. I explored the site a bit and i have to say this seems like a pleasant diversion, but i have kids, family, etc. and i can't see this being that useful for myself personally or professionally because i have more demanding things of my time.
i think it's great that other people enjoy it and i am glad to know more about these, too. It is valuable for me to have a reference point to help patrons when they are trying to use these or when teens make reference to them. I am glad I tried it!

you tube hulu fancast--wow and i get paid to do this?

A great exposure this week to popular culture that I have not taken the time to explore before.
I looked thru a few library videos but found them pretty borring. It was cool to see The Office, though I didn't take time to actually watch very long. (I'm too busy---I get the point that I could watch if I were at home or at a library on my own time! Cool! No wonder people want those headphones in the library!)
I can see that these would really be cool to explore--lots of great movies I have never seen and if I ever buy that laptop that i have been swearing i am going to buy...
Useful for the library? Heck yeah! If people are watching these, Sno-Isle has a great new tool to explore for marketing!
