MySpace & Facebook

Mixed reaction to MySpace. It definitely fosters creativity. I don't appreciate terminology like "pimp" your stuff--guess it means promote. Sometimes seems vulnerable, lonely and exposed. Sort of like a dear pen pal letter to the universe. Symptomatic of our time like cell phones. Reminds me of picking up someone at college and watching persons spill out of classrooms, most not talking to anyone around them, just clutching and talking on cell phones.

Amazed to find c. 49,300 results for "public library" search. MySpace Jobs has New York Public Libraries listings including systems administrator, library manager, chief financial officer.

Facebook is graphically pleasant, designed with more white space and less clutter. If one hopes to connect with persons one doesn't already know, either will do.
