To answer how had social networking tools affected my life would be an easy thing to answer. To find out how they haven't impacted my life would be harder to figure out. I actually met my wife through a dating site, which is a sort of social networking site. By the time facebook hit, I got back in touch with tons of friends and people I knew. It not only gives me an opportunity to get back into their lives but allows me to see a bit of the person they are now, in a way that is very different from how I knew them before. It lets me see who they were, are and will be, in many different ways.

Well... here is my intro to the class

Well, my name is David Elliott, and I have a wife and four year old daughter. I was an English major who taught for a few years but was burned out after a period of time. I still want to educate and still love kids from high school through early adult. I got into the library from my wife whose mother worked at a library and found that I really had a place that I could call home, so I began to get a masters degree in library sciences. I was looking forward to this class because of the social networking aspects of it, learning what all the benefits are and applying them to the library setting. It also goes well with my interest in computers and web design. I am just hoping to be a sponge in this class and learn as much as I can.
