Thing #21 Beyond MySpace

Howdy! I have been reading and visiting on-line communities. I don't belong to any groups, but I will search out and join a poetry or publishing group. Then I can chat and read about writing, reading and publishing poetry. I know there are some great library groups that it would be fun to be a part of. I joined Ning and will check back once a week. Or I will try to check back. I left some comments, uploaded a few pictures and watched the video posted by Aurora. I really like the Librarian's MANIFESTO! Art is art, but I would have enjoyed it more with different pictures, they didn't seem to match the idea for me. Just a comment!

I also like Web Junction. I like how it has continued to grow and evolve, and especially now there is a Minnesota Web Junction. I like feeling that the content is timely, correct and posted by library oriented people.

Truth be know, I don't feel isolated or alone or feel the need to reach out to join groups in my spare time. I get plenty of people contact and interaction at work. Really, the last thing I want is to interact online. Grouchy old BlueCat. Answering a few emails is about all the energy I have left at night. I am one of the "introverts" who recharge by being alone.

tee hee
23 things has been great! I love the comments, the idea that so many people are doing it and all the excitement it is generating.

If any of your read ASSOCIATES, my last column was about "23 things on a stick". A pretty good article if I say so myself.
