Social Networking

Last week as part of our Blue 2.0 assignment, I signed up for a MySpace account and invited a few relatives and co-workers to be my friends. At first I was thrown off when "Tom" appeared as one of my friends, and I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out how to delete him. I finally asked one of my student assistants for help and he said that Tom showed up everywhere and it wasn't something to worry about. I finally took the time to read Tom's page and discovered why he was there and how to delete him. What a waste of time! I'm not really into this social networking stuff, though it was interesting to see my son and my niece's pages. I added a few pictures and tried out the calendar. My account is myspace.com/mapsref, but I've put quite a few restrictions on it. Next I'll try out Facebook.
