Myspace

MySpace is another friend of mine but overtime we’ve become quite distant. I think I have been a member of MySpace for a number of years now, probably when it first surfaced on the internet. I love Myspace because I’m able to find friends Ive lost contact with and they are able to find me. MySpace is cool because a person can design their page however they want and they can use things like HTML to make their page look different from the rest.

LiveJournal

Livejournal is cool. I liked it because I think it’s a cool way to get your thoughts down. I think I used it once. It’s good because it saves trees because instead of writing on paper, someone can write online but I like to do things the old fashion way. Like I said before, I used it once but I didn’t like it.

PLurk

Oh plurk. Plurk was my absolute favorite of the new sites I checked out. I think it is a really cute website. It made me happy and I didn’t even do anything. The only thing I didn’t like about plurk was that I couldn’t really see anyones information. The only thing you can see if someone’s update but other than that I thought the site was really nice.

Seesmic

I don’t really have much to say about Seesmic. I don’t like it. This site is really really different from the rest. People post videos about themselves for others to see. I’m too lazy to do that so this site wasn’t for me.

I don't know what you're situation is with our video project but Alyson, Michelle, and I have all been talking and decided upon meeting in the library in front of the circulation desk Tuesday 11/18 to have a brainstorming session. Can you make this meeting?
