Hi, I logged onto Facebook and put myself out there.  It is pretty scary to put much information about yourself.  When I registered on my AOL account, I didn’t know I had 31 people on facebook that I know already.  I selected about 15 of these people as my friends.

I then looked up Kate Hall and asked her if I could be her friend.  I am awaiting her response.

Then I looked up one of my “friends” and looked at her friends.  She has 150 friends on her facebook.  I didn’t recognize any of the people.  She is around 30 years old.  Some are college friends, work friends, etc.

On my profile I chose the photo of the last year’s reading club mascots Zoink and Zipgone.   I didn’t want to put a photo of myself.

I then went to Obama sites and I think I registered to be a supporter.  There was a thing called “Application” and you could join his immediate streams of speeches, etc.  I don’t think I joined that.

Library thing is big in the Children’s Department.  About a year ago I had to enter about 200 books with photos.  It was an interesting assignment.  Many people have logged on and made comments about our reviews.  I think it is a valuable tool to have people get more information about a book than reading the review from the publisher that is usually biased.  In my spare time, I would like to start entering the books my son is reading for Battle of the Books and have him add/review the books he is reading.  I think he would get a kick out of seeing his work published like that.
