Facebook Thing 23: TLC Week 9

I registered for Facebook.

Completing the privacy profiles could have been an easier experience.

Networks:
Hmm. 71 thousand in the Fort Lauderdale network. That's too many.
I couldn't join the Nova Southeastern Network since I don't have a Nova e-mail.
I'll have to fix the next version of TLC to have a Browardl Library network.

Search your local regional network or the Nova Southeastern network and send a friend request to co-worker or classmate and try posting a message to their wall. I joined Digital Reference to see what it's like. It has only 688 people so it is much more manageable. I also joined the library 2.0 group. There are only 4526 members to review!

I couldn't find any coworkers from this TLC project. Next time we'll have to seed a few people to make it easier for people.

I found searching for people useless as Facebook doesn't have a very good filter system. The groups are too large to be useful. The Advanced Search doesn't work for filtering a group, only your networks and individual friends.

Overall, I would redesign this exercise to make it a better experience for the next group.
At this point I don't see Facebook as a library application. We'll see what ideas other people have about Facebook.
