Technology

I've just read Shannon's praise of MySpace. I have absolutely no desire to even look at it, because I expect everyone in the world to have a post. And I have enough to read without looking at that as well.

Facebook fits into the same category, though I have just read a post on my old fashioned list -serv about a Facebook page - Digital Past online history collection.

Digital Past is a local history digitization initiative undertaken by libraries, historical societies, museums, and other cultural venues throughout Illinois in partnership with the North Suburban Library System (NSLS) in Wheeling, Illinois. Digital Past contains collections from over 30 institutions of varying topics and formats including 55,000+ records in over 100 collections.

Maybe I should not throw out the baby and its bathwater yet, and shift through the pages of no interest to find some gems
