Week 2 Social Networking

Well, I looked at Bebo, Facebook and Myspace. I must confess I did not understand their function much. It all seems a little strange to me. I had difficulty viewing video features because we did not have the correct version of the necessary software. I am feeling confused about what the difference is between a blog and the social networking sites. They seem to have similar functions. Maybe I'm from the wrong "generation", but I feel very uncomfortable about:
a) putting my personal details up on public display
b) seeing other people's personal details up on public display

I signed up with Bebo in order to "be a friend" of the ACL page. Still waiting to be accepted, but I'm wondering whether they will recognise me from my alias?

As Alice said," Curiouser and curiouser ...."

Quote of the day:

"I'm full of fears and I do my best to avoid difficulties and any kind of complications. I like everything around me to be clear as crystal and completely calm." Alfred Hitchcock .

(Hey, it looks like I may have something in common with someone famous!)

First attempt

AArgh! Blank page! Instant panic!
Well, this has been incredibly frustrating, as it is not at all intuitive. I didn't even realise that I had to log in to create a Post (fancy new term for a blank page to write stuff.) I tried to save my draft, but got an error in processing message. What??
OK, now it has saved.
Not too sure about revealing all this, as it may appear to make me look stupid.
