Don't tag my face!

Numbers 12, 13 & 14:

I signed up for an account on FaceBook and spent some time looking at my daughter's and son's friends. Saw some great wedding pictures from one of Matt's high school friends. Sure can see how easy it would be to waste A LOT of time doing this! Also searched libraries and "public Library" and saw some other pages from libraries as well as many coworkers: smiling faces of both Brad and Aimee for instance .....

Del.icio.us is certainly fun and I can see its use for students who are surfing the Net a lot and need to capture stuff quickly with their own organizational structure. The little video was a good explanation of its potential.

Did a quick search on Technorati for reference IM services and found some interesting stuff including a video of a librarian from Arlington Heights IL. Good place to search for current happenings in the library world since lots of librarians are out there blogging. I like that it shows how recent the posts are. I didn't see the explanation of authority, though. How do you get that??

I think the authority is related to how many websites link to you.... - Krista
