Fantastic programme held at the State Library of Victoria on Web 2.0 and it's impact on the library world. Check out some thoughts on this conference from a librarian and a desperate housewife!

Oh, and on the Facebook front I now know what "The Wall" is (and my number of friends is now a bit more respectable!)

My Ramblings on Facebook

Thanks to a suggestion for BallaratLibraryChick - I'm now naming my posts with more meaning.

I'm still exploring Facebook. I've edited my profile and uploaded a photo – but still being very vague with my personal information as I’d rather not have it up there for all to see. Seems like every other day there's an article in the paper about the dangers of social networking - apparently it's more dangerous than chat rooms as your details are constantly there for predators to refer back to. Even so, I read an article in The Australian that said Facebook has grown by 273% in the last three months in Australia.

Anyway, enough of the doom and gloom - here's my own discoveries , in no particular order.

1. Still trying to work out what the “gifts” are actually for?? More importantly, why has no one given me a gift – hmmmm…..

2. What on earth is the “Poke” function?? Sounds dirty or is that just my gutter mind?

3. What's "The Wall"

4. Why don't I have more friends ;o(

I think that's enough now, must leave the virtual world....

My Twenty-Seventh Post

Ohmygosh I've finally updated my blog ... yay!!!!

I must give credit to Ballarat Library Chick, who I was chatting to last night at a gathering of new librarians - wonderfully organised by the Victorian New Graduates Group. We both have been a bit slack with our blogs, but I think a bit of mutual encouragement will get us blogging again!

I really want to try and keep my blog focused on Web 2.0 stuff (after all it was set up for the Web 2.0 Program). So, with that in mind I thought I'd have a look at Facebook. Recently, I was invited to join by a friend of mine. So, armed with yet another log in and password I have joined the online community of Facebook - and I have an entire two friends - pathetic, eh??

I'm still a bit reluctant to put too much info about myself up as you can never be sure who's accessing it, but I curious to see how it pans out.

I'd love to hear other's thoughts and experience with Facebook - so leave a comment.

Okay now I have a post recorded for July - let's hope I can keep the momentum going!
