Week 3 at CCL Learn HQ


Social networking this week and a new experience, Ning. I've obviously been living in terrible ignorance 'cos, until today, I'd never even heard of Ning. I have since learned that 36 million other peeps were somewhat quicker off the mark.
I do use Facebook regularly but like many of the technologies I am confronted with I don't use it to its full potential.
I am however hopelessly addicted to changing my photo on Facebook, currently I am using a lovely b&w pic of 1930's hearthrob Robert Donat, but I've been Zippy from Rainbow, Dangermouse, Hedy Lamarr and Mrs Slocombe a.k.a Mollie Sugden with a divine lavender hair rinse. I was also briefly addicted to the Facebook quizzes but they seem to have become rather amateur psychologist in nature and pointless.
Social Networking (SN) is fascinating and although I think many libraries are still trying to work out how to find a credible role in the SN scene it is a potentially exciting opportunity for connecting to customers. I have steered away from joining the CCL facebook page as I feel quite geeky enough but hooray to anyone braver than moi.
