Thing 15 - Online Social Networks

I am not the person to talk to about these web sites. I don't think any parent of teenage girls is. Do I think VBPL should use a social networking site to communicate with teens? Maybe. Will there be someone dedicated to monitoring the site? I know safeguards can be put into place. I am just afraid, very afraid.

Thing 10 - Rss Feeds Search

Forgot this thing and have gone back so I can catch up! Found out with these tools it is very easy to locate feeds. Found an interesting story about the law and jello, if you can believe that. Seems a drunk college boy was pushed while playing in a pool of Jello, broke his hip, and sued NYU for damages. Poor boy. Makes me want to continue finding and reading feeds.

Thing 14 - Staff pick

My first wiki post! Very easy and quick. I chose the book Our Dumb World by The Onion. Maybe someone else will get the humor. I am still not won-over by Wikis but will give most of them the benefit of the doubt.

Thing 13 - Wikis

I like the idea of Wikis, I just don't know how much to trust them. A pure public wiki would be a problem. Especially sites for children. I do, however, see the advantage of a conference wiki - what a great idea! Also - this would be a great way for families to research genealogy. A free version of ancestry.com!
