MyFace? Bookbo? Spacebe? WHAT??????

At present the three main social networking sites are MySpace, Bebo and Facebook.
Check out the library's MySpace page http://www.myspace.com/camdenlibrary

What do young (and old) people do with them?

• Create a profile that reflects their interests. Add favourite music, movies, etc.
• Pimp your page (make it look pretty, cool, hot, sick). People can code their own sites if they know html or there are free editors available (they make it look pretty without you having to be a techie).
• Get other people to look at profile. The more page views and the more friend requests, the more popular the person is. THIS IS WHY TEENS LIKE IT!!!

Who Can Have a Profile?

• Anyone!!
• Music Performers can get their own kind of profile on MySpace and Bebo.
• Authors, Corporations, Libraries usually use a personal profile.
• No-one has to prove who they are. Teens like the annonymity as it allows them to explore their identity.
