Thing #4 continued over a monthe later (i'm sorry to say). I looked at bebo and felt that it would be like going back in time to join up,like i was trying to get down with the kids or something-indulging a peter pan fixation. I may also be influenced by news reporting about Bebo and young girls being coerced into exhibitionism and misappropriation of photos ecetera, ecetera.

I did however join face book and daringly added a photo (although I'm represented by only a piece of my skirt and my lower leg). I have been enjoying asking friends to be my 'facebook friends',in particular confirming how we know each other. Poking friends and becoming a vampire was fun. I haven't given my friends presents yet but have received them. It's quite hard keeping up with my face book friends who seem to have a 'suspicious' amount of time to check their face books. All of my friends in facebook are my colleagues which is quite nice so we can refer to our face booking communications. My library- outsider friends don't seem at all interested in social networking sites-going by their absence when facebook went through my gmail contacts list. I registered on face book as Katherine rather than 'Katie' my usual moniker so it is harder to find me as I was a bit apprehensive when I initally joined.
