Quest 8 - Social Networks

I had heard about Facebook and Myspace before this Quest, but not the others. I searched for the Kings of Leon under music or did a general search on each site.
Bebo - Kings of Leon have a blog. I searched for and found Ireland. People from all over the world blogging about Ireland - or supposedly.
Friendster - Found a Kings of Leon page with fans. I was unable to search for an Ireland.
Linkedin - You have to join to really search this site. It is for finding jobs, advice, classmates, and colleagues.
Facebook - My daughter Alexis has an account. Facebook was originally for people with a school email. I read about students not being accepted in colleges because professors would look them up on Facebook and find out all about things better left hidden.
Myspace - I have an account, but never use it. My daughter Shannon and some of her friends blog on it all the time to keep in touch. I followed some of the links for her friends.
I also found the Kings of Leons. They have songs, pictures, and tour information.
I think social networking is a way of keeping young adults informed about library programs.
