Assignment # 5

Must admit this assignment was much easier then the last two. Still need to spend a little more time with rss. Anyway, quite impressed with the library thing. Very easy to navigate and very user friendly. Only disadvantage is that once you have 200 books on your list you have to start paying for the service.
Now onto Facebook. Have been a member for about a year now and still trying to get used to the new look of facebook.
Anyway I went directly to the green page and found it interesting but not too sure if this would benefit our organization. As well, I am not sure that Facebook was designed for advertising, rather more a way for friends to find friends. Facebook is a worldwide bog and I don't think our region would benefit from having a page on facebook that can be seen by someone who lives in Africa for instance. As well, I would be a little concerned of the chance that a patron who did not get possibly good service could post a message telling of their experience. Do we want to take the chance.
Just a note, though, facebook does have an application called visual bookshelf and an application called books where you can post the bookds you are reading and the books you want to read.

I was looking at the visual bookshelf on facebook and considered using it for this assignment but then people would have to sign up for facebook and because there is so much resistance to it, I did not want to make that mandatory. Good find!
