Facebook - playing nicely with others(Week 6)

Facebook is very popular and it helps you connect with friends and family and to keep in touch. It can help the library promote events to library users easily and to a broad audience. There is a lot in the site so it is a bit hard to navigate in the beginning, but you get used to it. All the basic functions are easy to use though. I probably wouldn't use facebook because it is not a good platform for proper communication, only for saying hi and keeping your friends up to date with your life. Customers would be able to chat with friends and family on facebook if they made one, so for some people this may be useful or fun. If the library had a facebook page, it would be good to promote to customers as they can be notified of special events and it reminds them to visit the library and make use of the facilities.

Music File and MP3 (Week Five)

I visited cnet download.com for free mp3s. It was easy to use the website since all the genres were listed on the left hand side in a clear easy to find spot. Clicking gives a list of subgenres and then you can see the most popular songs or search for what you want. It is very user friendly and anyone who is used to computers will not have problem using it.

Some other sites i know are 1ting.com and last.fm .
