What a beautiful weekend.
I am finding it hard to come inside to complete this assignment when everyone and their Uncle seems to be enjoying the great out doors, big turkey dinners and family gatherings.
Library Thing is awesome. I had no idea it existed. Thanks for opening my eyes to yet another great tool of the world wide web! It was very simple to create an account but very hard to pick my fav 5 to catalogue on my new account site so I just chose 5 books that came to mind.
Loooooooooove Facebook. Of course I got very easily distracted my all the invitations I had and returning emails to people I have not seen or heard from in like 20 years, but I did finally manage to get back to the task at hand, checking out the "Green: because you can" site there. Yet another cool group I was not aware of. Neat, since I am part of the Environmental Committee at work. SO I think it would be favourable for my organisation getting set up on facebook. Afterall, let's face it, everyone uses Facebook. It might help with spreading the word about our very own non profit organisation. Concerns? Yes, there are some. It would take only one person to write something bad about the organisation and that could spread like wildfire. One person is all it would take to say something dumb or unprofessional about us thus ruining all the good. Other concerns is that technically it may be dificult to access since our IT department has placed a block on all staff to access Facebook from work computers. If the block were to be removed, would the org then lose precious work time, based on how many staff would be all too tempted to spend time purusing the site and reconnecting with old friends? More than likely!

Library thing is certainly fun! I get lost in it sometimes...just like facebook! Ha ha.
It was nice to hear some positive views about facebook, many have been negative. You raise a good issue I had not even considered...loss of work time and decreased efficiency. I know that's why it is banned but it never crossed my mind with this assignment. Good job!
