Facebook

It is such a coincidence that the assignment to do Facebook came this week since last weekend my brother-in-law came and I wanted to see pictures of his kids (my neice and nephew). It was the first time I had ever looked at Facebook and I realized from looking at their friends that almost all of my neices and nephews are on there, so I had resolved to join sometime soon. Then, I actually had to for this assignment. It is probably a useful tool, but one I doubt I will use very often. I can hardly make time for the people in my life as it is. Also, I feel like I'm way too old to be bothering with things like MySpace and Facebook even though I know many people my age and older use it. I felt silly like I was trying to be a teenager. My Peace Corps group has a My Space group and also a group of friends from college who used to meet at Shenanigan's every Thursday night has a MySpace site that I have visited. As far as how it could be applied to my work, I can see some use for it. Students could visit sites on MySpace of people who live in the countries of their target language.
