Social networks? Not so sure. But avatars rock!

I've been looking at social networking sites for quite a while now. I even went so far as to create a Facebook account, but haven't done much with it. I like the idea of using it to connect with old school- or college-mates or with other library colleagues in Wisconsin or elsewhere or even my nephews who are graduating from college this spring. But I'm also an introvert and a pretty private person, and I wouldn't necessarily share the same things between any of those groups I just listed. So I'm still on the fence... I thought the Meredith Farkas article did a great job of listing the pros and cons, though, so be sure to give that a read.

Here's my South Park character, created in honor of the freezing cold temps we're having at the moment. I also played briefly with the Yahoo! avatar tools, but had to make too many decisions about my hair and clothes. Fun, fun, fun!
