Networking for the quasi-social being

Okay, I did it. Signing up wasn't hard at all. But since I'm not a particularly social being--at least that's what the personality test we took pointed out--I had a problem coming up with anything to put on my profile. Also I didn't have a picture--or rather I spent quite a while finding and cropping a jpg I had (thanks to Melissa for the training on this quite a while ago) that included me in the group photo, but then it wasn't a jpg anymore and couldn't be uploaded as a word doc. But that's okay. I started looking for friends using some of the ways facebook suggested. High school--no hits (okay so it was a small school, but still). College--9 hits, all strangers. Place of employment--RPL (no hits), my daughter's employer (no hits), her boyfriend's employer (no hits). So I'm getting the idea it's not cool to reveal your true place of employment on your profile. Finally I searched for, and found Jill Lininger. Also searched for my daugher and sent a message to someone with the same name in the Milwaukee area. We'll see if I get a response and/or if it's her. Once I found Jill, I was able to find a few other RPLers and send messages/friend requests to Jessica, Terrance, and Melissa. Someone at a picnic I was at on Saturday was talking glowingly about his recent facebook experiences, about all the classmates he had reconnected with and what they were doing. And I thought, that's nice, but who are your wife and three preschool kids and your students and the rest of your extended family and current friends social networking with while you have your head online talking to people you haven't cared enough about to keep up with all these years.
Re: library facebook accounts--if its active, interactive, making itself useful, up to date, and well designed, I think it could be a good thing. If it's just sitting there doing nothing, I think it makes us look pathetic.
In spite of my somewhat negative tone in all this, I'm really grateful for the technology team for putting together this well organized training. I find it very helpful to at least know how it all works, even if I don't use it as intended on a regular basis.
