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.

You're right, Facebook is very popular :) Although it's definitely not everyone's preferred choice of contact. Interesting comment, though, to say that Facebook is not a proper form of communication - can you expand on that at all? Whoa hey - you've finished the activities! All you need to do is complete the online survey from here :) YAY you ;)
