Thing 4: Social Networking

I've been on Facebook for about 3 years. I primarily use FB to keep up with Friends and Family, but also consider and sometimes play with the professional benefits. In addition to libraries, I am also a yoga instructor and I helped to create our studio FB Page, which has been a great way to post information about events and general announcements. We also post pictures and videos for fun.

Our library currently has a FB page and aside from the issue of not being able to transfer ownership of the Page, this seems like the best forum for the library presence to date. We currently only have 20 fans and we still need to put some more thought on how we can make this Page more useful (and by useful, I mean used).

I've debated signing-up on Linkedin. Some people really believe in having separate professional and personal lives (and contacts) and while I completely understand this position, I think, for now I've decided on one social networking identity. Life is already complicated enough : ) and I like having things in one place. And I like the idea of being transparent.

Thing 3: RSS Feeds and share your experience

I've been using Google Reader for quite some time now and here is just a selection of some of the feeds I subscribe to:

• Information Wants to be Free
• Lifehacker
• ReadWriteWeb
• Zen Habits
• Wired
