I joined both My Space & Facebook. I thought both were easy to sign up for and add information to profiles. The search for friends included a couple of people from this class and I invited them as friends. The Facebook page gave me a list of possible friends that went to my college and I added one. I didn't see a whole lot of difference in using them thus far, but I do like the look of the My Space Profile page better. That system also let me pick my URL, which will make it much easier to remember and share.
I think it's important to be aware of at least these two social networking sights simply so we have some clue of what our students (and kids) are doing and talking about. For me, I could see using it to re-connect with some old high school, college or work friends, and former students, as well as keeping in closer contact and sharing photos, etc. with family. I don't see spending a lot of time there simply because I just don't have much to spare. I can definitely see the attraction though.
