Method 8

Ugh...Even after looking at the videos and articles, I continue to dislike the whole social networking idea, more specifically...Facebook, MySpace.   I can see some benefits (i.e. keeping parents up to date of library programs, and resources provided by the library) of these types of accounts, but the time and privacy concerns, totally outweigh any benefits for me, especially in the elementary school library.  However, Twitter seems to be a quicker and safer method for getting information to parents quickly and easily, while maintaining privacy. I can see opening a twitter account in the near future for my library to keep parents involved in the library program...library updates, how to login to databases, new books, movies related to books, etc.  I think this would be much less time-consuming and I can control more of the privacy issues that concern me.
