Thing #18

This is my facebook.

I have had accounts with these sites for a long while. I don't like Myspace for a professional networking system. Facebook works much better because it links you to the other people on each person's profile. Also it sets everyone into groups so it's easy to find people you have things in common with even if you've never met them, but they live nearby and maybe work in your school's county. The only thing I don't like about Facebook is that a lot of privacy is lost because it shows every new group you join. There is a good side to that though, other people who share similiar interests might find the groups you join useful. So as long as you create a Facebook account that is purely professional, I think it could be a great tool. Myspace, on the other hand, has a lot of advertising that is unprofessional for teachers and it's hard networking with people based on their search requirements. I think it's great as a personal social space though.
