Well, I've created my account on MySpace. I went through the steps on creating an anonymous account. I decided not to add anyone to "MySpace" until I had more time to explore, but something interesting or at least for me happened. I received an e-mail from a friend, but who could that be when I did not invite anyone yet to "MySpace." I was a bit alarmed at first in receiving an e-mail and a photo from "Tom," but then I decided to be brave and look at his message. Tom was offering to help me with setting up MySpace. I had to laugh at myself because it was probably an e-mail generated by MySpace itself.
My reactions were probably due to the fact that I was thinking as a parent. Now to disconnect from that part of me...in looking at it from a different role, I do believe that this has potential for use in libraries as another means of connecting with patrons.

Yes, Tom is everyone's 1st "friend." So, you're right. That is something that is generated by MySpace and harmless.
I know it can be difficult to switch roles and not let bias creep in from your other roles. I think your awareness of it is the key.
Great job!
