Bebo who? Bebo what!?Bebo's going to be discontinued...
It seems I've progressed through a continuum of social network sites. Anyone remember Hi5?Not the appalling group peddling to toddlers of middle class Australia; rather a very skeletal version of social network sites, think Facebook sans quizzes, zygna games & video clips, I know...hard to imagine. Along came Bebo with all it's whizzes and doo dangles (I revert to baby speak when I can't express myself, relying on the innate "you know what I mean" assumption) of which I was constantly harassing ex girlfriends (not serious) and made appointments with mates (serious) because apparently Bebo causes temporary amnesia of a forgotten Bell invention called the telephone. Then lo and behold, we arrive at Facebook.
Facebook - the mother of all network sites. Over 400 million active users - what in the blue blazes! Hi5, Bebo - defunct or soon to be - who is left to compete with this monstrosity of nosiness? Where Are You Now? My Space? Ummm M YAWNS.
Anyway enough side tracking, looking at the figures it would be foolhardy for any library not to have a presence on Facebook. Waffle served with a side of ice-cream.
Said waffle served with a large dose of chocolate ice-cream, I hope! I read on another staff blog that if Facebook were a country it'd be the 5th largest country in the world. A somewhat scary thought.
