Thing 21 Beyond MySpace: Other Social Networks




Joined the 23 Things on A Stick social network in Ning and left our media specialist from South View a message.

The whole idea at Ning of starting your own network seems to be Web 2.0. at it's finest - communicate and connect.

Yelp for reviews was intriguing especially in it's randomness. After entering the word garden, everything from nursery locations, Lake Harriet Rose Garden and Bill's Imports (who deliver to a restaurant with garden in the name) showed up in the final list.

I belong to Angie's List which is it's own way is a social network and it's really helped to find good services and companies. Now after Thing 20 and 21 I belong to two more social networks.

What if our LINKS had a Ning group?
Would it be a better way for new staff to connect, or just another hoop to jump through? I don't think it would replace Moodle, which might make it "more on their plate". Hmmm...
