Slowed down a bit the past few weeks surrounding my jaunt to Penasco.
I just resumed work on 2.0 Facebook and MySpace.
MySpace is great for kids who want a free web presence with the ability to network. But for my purposes, it's crowded in several ways: the interface, the "friends", the time demands of maintaining your page, etc. I've seen several MySpace pages, but I haven't seen a personal page that was well designed yet.
Facebook's layout is less crowded; but it's not intuitive at all. Everytime I left my homepage I struggled to navigate back to it. I can see how it would appeal to the college set, however I don't see how I would personally benefit from using it. Again, it's basically a free webspace server. Webspace is relatively cheap these days anyway, so it's probably not something I'll ever embrace. I was truly glad to learn about it tho; for one b/c I have an old friend who had invited me to see her profile; this enabled me to finally see it and exchance some niceties. But is sending "hugs" and "beer" virtually really something for adults? I'm not convinced.
These Web networks are fun to learn about, but who can possibly maintain accounts on so many of these?! I just don't have the time.
