Week 7 : Social Networking

This has been one of more pleasurable exercises for me to do - especially so that I had joined Facebook early last year and have enjoyed being discovered by old school friends, library patrons from Ballito, SA and family living overseas. One person in particular was a close friend who is now farming with her husband in the magnificent farming area of Ceres, in the Cape, South Africa - which includes angora goats & lucerne.
Visited the Hennepin Country Library and discovered the excellent programmes & services they offer to new settler groups (eg Somalis), summer reading programme (just like Manukau - encouraging students to keep up their reading during the holiday breaks!). Out of curiosity had a look at Kelly's fav. 'Dr Horribles Sing-along-blog. (different...)
www.myspace.com had an a handy alternate to online bookstores with www.fishpond.co.nz
Bebo - had a look at Auckland City Libraries space and came across John Mayer's 'interesting' diary - had to register to see all this.
