So I thought I had finished the 2.0 games but it turns out I forgot a module: Sites for Students.
So I've made a stikkit account, it sounded the most like a website I would have used in college if I'd had constant internet access. It basically works like sticky note, but one line, at least thats the theory. In real life my planner is usually somwhat wedge-shaped due to sticky notes so this made sense. This sounded easier and no sticky notes falling out of place or covering up important information written in the planner itself.
The down side is this. Making a Stickkit is easy, moving it to your calender or to-do list is not. This is to say I haven't figured out how to do it yet and usually putting with a website like this negates any need to take the tour or guide. I'm goign to assume that this lack of intuitive user friendliness is why I've never heard of this site before. Bah.

So I am Twittering. As far as I can tell Twitter is just the next reincarnation of the away messages we used to leave on our PCs before going to class.
I really can't imagine the use of this to the library. Maybe to let patrons know of weather closures, or some other non-preplanned event. I really don't think our patrons need to know what we're all up to all the time. I suppose we could use it around the libraries to let each other know where we are instead of the constant email stream, but its not that different, a second page to log into. I'd probably be more likely to use this if I was still away at school, and I can definately see how it would make friends living far apart feel more connected. I guess personally I only need to be so connected, IM or Facebook, or Twitter, or text messages.

I'm really not sure how I really feel about library's using facebook. The best arguement I've heard for it was in the discussion on the KRL Facebook page. On the other hand I was pretty skeptical of Facebook in the first place. The web is open to everyone. I appriciated how greatly Meredith Farka discussed this point in her articule. I got onto Facebook when I was a school. I didn't even hear about it online at first; I heard about it first from co-workers using it as a party connection. I ended up eventully getting an account to keep track of people I'd met an college. What scares me about it is how easily people forget that anyone can see facebook...
Although I use it I guess I just think it's a little silly, or that people often use it so much they forget it doesn't exist it solely to amuse or if it does that anyone can use it however they want.

wiki2
I'm working on setting up a recommended reading page that would be formated in a way that would be similar to leaving a comment, fast, easy, not a hassel or major time commitment. No answers yet, just big dreams.
c'est la vie.
