Looked at most of the examples of social networking suggested.
Have viewed and read about "second Life" ,"avatars" and read about the "second life library project".

The possibilities of using social networking at our library is endless. It can be use for client interaction, marketing and networking, but this all involves a lot of time, which none of us seem to have lately. It could be used for children's activities, youth, author talks and for CWA ladies, just to name a few.
All these modules that we have learnt about in the 12 weeks are fabulous and could be used so much in public libraries, its just mind boggling, but everything comes back to how much time we have.
I have enjoyed most of the learning experience of web 2.0 ,but I don't think i will get to use much of it again unfortunately, as I don't have a computer at home and most of my work at the library doesn't involve using it. I have enjoyed creating my own Blog.

I have completed the feedback survey and form letting you know I have finished the program.
