Assignment 1: OLJ creation and first entry

What is Social Networking?

Social Networking is a means to connect with others via the internet.  A forum connecting a user to friends, family, work colleagues, as well as like minded people or special interest groups, e.g.book lovers, gamers, sporting groups, to name a few.  Certain networking sites such as Pinterest, Facebook or Twitter will suggest connections to hobbies, friends or groups that may be of interest to users, based on their own user history.


Social networking sites that I use:

Twitter - for study

Blogger - for study

Second Life - for study

YouTube - for personal

Facebook - for personal, work and study

Wiki - for work

Flickr -  for personal

Delicious - for personal

Pinterest - for personal


What I expect to learn from INF206:

I hope to gain confidence in using Web 2.0 technologies.  To have a greater understanding of the use of social networking sites and how they can be used within a library environment.  As well an understanding of the social etiquette and boundaries of social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook.
