Thing 20 FACEBOOK VS. MYSPACE

Another easy Thing for me. I just recently joined Facebook, one of my girl scouts parents created a group so she could post photos. I am not the most happening person, I only have 12 friends. I did join some of the library group though.

I also checked out MySpace, but I know a few young people on there and some of the pages are so unacceptable for viewing, to put it nicely.

I think MySpace does a nicer job displaying their pages, Hennepin County Library, for example. But since I am already a Facebook user, I won't be switching.

Thing 12 DO YOU DIGG IT?

Social media sites: hmph.....I am kind of torn, I checked out all four of the recommended sites; Digg, Reddit, Mixx, and Newsvine. The most legitimate looking one was Newsvine. All the other sites had a lot of junk, not worth looking at. In a high school setting the social sites are not allowed. They can be a huge time suck. I just wasted probably about 2 hours checking them out. I would like to say I only looked at the worth while sites and news stories, but I found myself just surfing crap.
