Thing 20: Libraries and Social Networks

Which groups did you join and why?
I have read in both of my professional organizations (NEA and AFT) of teachers that have lost their jobs over items posted to MySpace or Facebook accounts. While I don't think that I have anything to post that would be cause for firing, it gives me pause to participate. On the other hand, I have been invited to become a Facebook friend by my brothers and sisters and several real life friends. So overall, I am glad for the opportunity to try Facebook out. Nicely, I had instant friends upon arriving!

Reflect on why Facebook may be the fastest growing social network. Is that reputation deserved?
Perhaps...?
