I have spent a lot of time exploring my sns’s. I am still debating whether to compare two or simply concentrate on one. It takes a lot of time just to see what is available on the site.

I am going to begin blogging on myspace. I have a few friends, but I am going to continue to find more. I have liked myspace more than I thought I would. The problem I am having is finding time to explore fully what it offers. I am going to work on that this week.

Well, I did it. I signed up for a myspace account. I am still hesitant, but I have decided I am going to give it the ole college try and go into it with an open mind. I did not have put any personal identifying information, so that eases my mind. The process was not that […]

I have been hesitant to join a Social Network Site. I don’t really have any good reasons. I just get enough social interaction at school, so I keep thinking do I need another thing to keep up with? I am going to join as it is required by this class. I hope my eyes get […]
