not 'my' space

In exploring MySpace I managed to get significantly side-tracked looking for people who went to the same high school. I thought the fact that the profiles my search returned were for people between 18-25 was pretty telling. Libraries who are operating in this space are obviously trying to engage with youth. Sure, we probably have a need to create a presence in this space...but it just one of the many ways we can consider interacting with our clients. I found the idea of interacting at a personal level in this space far from appealing....I must be getting old.

Nah, me neither. I actually find Facebook much better but even then I just don't seem to have the time or inclination to really play with it all.
