Back again,
Today I have been learning about social networks. I didn't realise that flickr is classed as a social network. I had a quick look at facebook, but the social network which really interested me is called LibraryThing. I would love to be able to access it from work as I think it could be really useful as a collection development tool for the adult fiction. It includes book reviews, ratings, lists for book groups etc... Also complete catalogue records.
Anyway I have joined and for now I will just have to access from home.
Official definition:
A social network service focuses on building online communities of people who share interests and/or activities, or who are interested in exploring the interests and activities of others. Most social network services are web based and provide a variety of ways for users to interact, such as e-mail and instant messaging services.
Social networking has encouraged new ways to communicate and share information. Social networking websites are being used regularly by millions of people.
