Thing #19

I really had no idea there were so many different online communities out there. When I first joined an online community it was MySpace and that was sometime when I was a teenager. After a couple of years in college one of my friends convinced me to get on Facebook. Once I started using Facebook I never use MySpace any more.  I do think TeachPop is a good idea and could come in useful during student teaching.  After exploring some of the sites, I joined Shelfari. This is site allows you to have a bookshelf that you can add books to that you've read, have read, or want to read and you can look at whats on other peoples shelf. This is an awesome site however I had to force myself to quit finding book because I was wasting my Homework time. I also though Shelfari was cool because it basically provides you with a virtual list of what you've read and you can keep up with things like when you read it or where. You can do your own review of the book. I just think it's a really neat site, but I love books. I'm sure there are plenty of other sites that would come in handy, but I think if you have an investment in the interest than the person is more likely to enjoy the sites and use them.
