IST600 Social Networking In Libraries

July 30, 2010

Syracuse University

ON JULY 25TH: My social networking experience

consisted of:

A barebones Facebook page with 17 friends A Picasa account that never saw a web album A blog created for IST511 A barebones Linkedin account No Twitter account No Flickr account No YouTube account

…primitive by today’s standards

AND THEN CAME IST600!

ALISON- OUR FEARLESS LEADER!

DAY ONE…LET’S ADD

TWITTERING 4 FUN

Seems simple enough!

…BUT IT COULD BE PRETTIER…

LOOK WHAT I HAVE!

Much better!

Now I’m really communicating!

AND I CAN FIND PEOPLE TO FOLLOW- FRIENDS, PROFESSIONAL NETWORKS AND CELEBRITIES…

AND THEY CAN FOLLOW ME BACK…

NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG NOW…

ONE OF THE HAPPIEST DAYS OF MY LIFE!

TRULY EVIL OR SIMPLY MISUNDERSTOOD?

DISCUSS.

I like…But I’ll

give Flickr a shot…

FIRST, SIGN UP FOR A YAHOO ACCOUNT, BUT I ALREADY HAVE ONE…

…maybe not?So I’ll sign up for a new account…

AND NOW I CAN UPLOAD PICTURES AND START A PHOTOSTREAM…

OOPS, I ACCIDENTLY SIGNED OUT, SO LET’S SIGN BACK IN…

HUH?

TRY IT AGAIN…WITH THE FULL YAHOO E-MAIL:

WAIT A MINUTE…LET ME SEARCH AS A GUEST…

OKAY…LET IT GO…IT’S IN YAHOO’S HANDS NOW…

The winner? In my opinion…

TIME TO MOVE ON TO…

DO I NEED TO UPGRADE MY

FACEBOOK PAGE?

HEY!

HOW TO UPDATE LISA’S FACEBOOK IN 8 EASY STEPS…

1. Friend people…lots of people…

2. Status Updates…important…

3. Network, network, network…

4. JOIN THE CLUB!

5. Applying yourself? There’s an App for that!

6. LINK UP YOUR FACEBOOK AND TWITTER- IT’S EASY!

OKAY…#6 IS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS…MOVING ON…

7. DISCOVER TWIBBONS!

AND FINALLY…8. JUST TALK!

I SHOULD HAVE MADE A VIDEO ON THIS…

SPEAKING OF VIDEOS:

Wait? YouTube?Yes! YouTube!

YOU DON’T HAVE TO MAKE A MOVIE, JUST SHARE WHAT YOU LIKE!

YOU CAN HAVE YOUR OWN CHANNEL!
