OK, I successfully created a MySpace page (http://www.myspace.com/roguereader) although I am not really interested in having one. I am glad to see some of how MySpace worked and was glad to be able to have privacy options. I hate the advertising and I can't really see using the page, but never say never, I guess. As much as it seems I use computers, I still am not of the generation that link "computers" and "community". I think "Second Life", on the other hand, is a totally intriguing concept...the true merger of computer game and community interaction.
Thank you so much, Learning 2.0 crew, for referencing the readings from Libraryman, David Lee King, Stephen Abram and Librarian in Black. It was fascinating to read the variety of opinions about libraries' place/visibility on MySpace. I am being won over to the idea of library teen pages on MySpace...they are safe sites, with good stimulating connections for kids...and kids have the choice of connecting or ignoring library pages. And it does allow libraries to go where the kids are. I do wish MySpace would allow non-profit organizations to register as organizations, though, not as fictional individuals.
