Web 2.0 - Week 6 Facebook

I have recently visited Facebook and although I have not signed up and created an account yet, I am familiar with this social networking site and may join Facebook in the future. My daughter showed me her profile page (which can be made public or kept private) and how Facebook works.

It's a great way to connect with friends and family and keep in contact with each other by sending messages, posting photos or adding an application such as Goodreads to your profile.
Some young people use Facebook a lot and it can become a bit addictive and time consuming!

I have not had any library customers ask me about Facebook but I would be happy to show them, as it is easy to use.

I also had a look at Manukau Libraries Facebook page and see it is a good way to promote library events such as Manix4.

As for the 'Best book I have ever read', well, I don't think I have just one book that is the best I have ever read. Rather I have read books that I just can't put down until it is finished, books that I read a bit at a time and some books that I don't finish reading. I find books take me to another 'world' and make me think how people's lives can be so different to my own.

Well, that marks the completion of the final Week 6 task for Web 2.0.
