Introduction: Social Networking

I was the first among my circle of friends to sign up for Facebook. I did so after hearing the fuss about it on the news on CBC radio one morning. I invited my friends to join and so they did. I have a friend who uses the MSN Spaces for social networking which I have used but only to post photos. I know that some students that I teach use Tagged. For the purposes of this class I signed up for a MySpace account. I thought I would stick to something that is more well known and has taken some heat in the media as well. I wanted to learn about it first hand.
I do wish I had known more about Facebook when I started my profile. After reading Eric’s Internet Duct Tape blog posting ”How to use Facebook without Losing Your Job over it,” I contemplated deleting my profile and starting from scratch. However, I thought before I make any rash decisions I better find out more.
