Thing 16

It's been a while now since I created my account with Facebook, and I love it. I didn't think it was gonna have that big an impact on me, but I find myself checking my account every chance I get. I also have a MySpace account, but I barely use it; I created it to communicate with my friends from Spain, because that is the social network they use, but since I just send them emails now and then, I'm thinking of deleting it.
I joined the Library 2.0 Interest Group on Facebook because it sounded interesting and because I figured that it's a good way to keep learning about this project.
About the reputation of Facebook, I want to say that it's well deserved because it came after some other social networks and it's known how to establish itself to gain people's trust. It complements the regular services for professionals(e-mail, notes...)with all the other fun stuff that young people are thrilled by (different applications to play or/and serve your community, sharing pictures...).
