MySpace? What is MySpace? (week 4)

"This book is so awesome!"

I can't get the library's profile song out of my head! I tried getting rid of it by jamming a pencil in my ear, but all it got me was a trip to the ER for my busted, bleeding ear drum and still no respite (alas!).

We have to work on the library's "About Me" section, though. You don't have to answer any burning questions, just a few trivial things--what's the library's favorite color, is it easy going or not, does the library like traveling--those kinds of questions. Also, it wouldn't hurt to have a little background info like, is the library single? What schools did the library attend? Where has the library worked? I mean, the library has to give its friends something to work with.

And speaking of friends, I hope the library is giving its friend Maryl some serious love, because that poor girl is the only one really commenting on the library's page. She definitely deserves to be number one on the library's top 8, not 2. 1!

I think my favorite OCLS YouTube video has to be the Artfest 07 one. You see, there's this duo in the beginning banging on a pot and some weird drum thing (a drumette. A drumtop. I don't know) and at one point, the lady judo chops the pot. And then the guy gets a little drumtop solo and for a second he starts bobbing his head really fast, and he kind of looked like a bogglehead during an earthquake. Anyway, it made me laugh at least.

I've got to say: these web 2.0 apps are cool. I'm frequently amazed on how well they work. You've got millions of "hands" in this web pot but, somehow, for the most part, the information being shared/modified/tweaked/manipulated/edited/erased/rewritten still works. Cool Stuff.

True about the "About Me" section. It was the first thing I completed so that people would know more about me...well, I am just friendly that way! I hope more people fill theirs out, too.☺
