Thing 11 Social Media

Social Media tools would be useful in a home setting. These tools could be used to save time by viewing news, entertainment, health, etc. on one website. Libraries can use Facebook and MySpace to promote programs and events at the library. Some of the social media tools I explored for Thing 11 seemed like a productivity detractor because of the web layout. Some of the sites had so much information on the home page, it was hard to focus on one story. This was my first time visiting the Digg and Mixx sites and I read several stories from those two sites.
