Facebook....a new phenomenon, well sort of. I have been a "member" of Facebook for part of this year and so this section is one that I am familiar with. I am not altogether that obsessed with Facebook though I do find it fun at times especially the status section, but I must say my "love affair" if there ever was one is waning a bit. I can understand the functions of both Facebook and MySpace in the keeping in touch with people especially those that don't live near to you and also finding new friends or groups with similar interests.
I have created a couple of groups in the past, in particular "Your Librarian has Shushed You" and this has a mixture of people I know and people I don't as part of it.
For this exercise I have joined the RMIT Swanston Library group. I found this through other Facebook Friends and also when I was searching for other Library Groups. I have yet to join any other group as I have yet to find one that I would like to join but I will keep on looking.
Searching Facebook is fairly simple as you use keyword searches and can choose to look under "groups" as well as searching "all" results also Facebook gives you a recommended groups section when looking at group sites.
