http://librarygarden.net/2006/12/14/myspace-in-the-news/ An ongoing conversation among librarians with differing perspectives (public, academic, school, consortial, youth) but one shared goal: ensuring the health and relevance of libraries. [insert your own gardening metaphor here] Fri, 17 May 2013 18:44:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ http://librarygarden.net/2006/12/14/myspace-in-the-news/#comment-1760 Tue, 19 Dec 2006 04:19:00 +0000 http://librarygarden.wordpress.com/2006/12/14/myspace-in-the-news/#comment-1760 Does anyone else remember when “Talk City” was the website du jour, tying up bandwith, tying up public library computers and generally giving many librarians cause to want to block the site? (At my library this was before any talk of filters!)

What a great program to offer. I’ve had a MySpace account since I began blogging and what I love about it is the community building. It does require a bit more effort than blogging to keep up but I think the result is worth it. Most of the people in my community are librarians, authors and musicians and I find they use their postings very effectively to keep people in touch with what they are doing. On a similar note, Time Magazine is naming “You” Person of the year. I wrote about it on my blog yesterday to begin a discussion about the how and if libraries can push their boundaries to allow places where our customers can provide raw content. I’ve spoken with many libraries that are concerned about allowing places for people to post unedited and yet that is that is a huge part of the success of social networking… how can we… or can we find ways to get onboard with user generated content?
