THING #15 LIBRARY 2.0

ga-zillions of people use these puplic websites to socialize everyday or almost every minute of their life. IT is both helpful and hurtful. I see Library2.0 being helpful as a way of patrons and library staff logging into this site and writing reviews of the novel they just read. Having multiple opinions is extremely helpful. We have IM upat all times so that persons from other branches can"Compare & borrow" notes from each other. The network of users has multiplied 10fold. I also like how some colleges are using facebook in order for incoming freshman to "get to know" eachother before arriving on campus. Those using these websites have buddies once they arrive at this foreign place. This is a major plus in mymind. I am disturbed how people can report nasty things anomynously through the string on facebook. Peoples lives are crushed and damaged at a young age.
