Hitting the Wall

I knew it was coming.

I breezed through photo-sharing and RSS feeds and this blogging account: no worries.

They were nice about it, the training people at Library 2.0. They eased me into the thing with intriguing essays about user-stats for Facebook and a real (!) virtual library on second life and a podcast from a very cool librarian.

It didn't make it any easier: Social networking.

MySpace.

Bleh.

Dancing baloney? Check.
Messy, cluttered, visually-appalling page-design? Check.
Reader-unfriendly? Check.

I stuck my the Library 2.o training course on the shelf: Later Dude.

Much later.

But! And!

I know MySpace = love for so many, many people.

So I did the lesson.

And I've got a Myspace page.

And I even volunteered to help moderate my library system's teen MySpace presence next year, when, presumably, I may still be giving it the hairy-eyeball, but it'll be a hairy-eyeball of user-competence.

Here goes nothing.
