I am bored (or boring?)

So, I haven't found anything to love so far. I am bored by MySpace but maybe that's because I am boring -- I don't care to surf other people's sites and don't know many people with accounts and really, would rather email or call them if I want to contact them. Does that make me boring? Old? Of a previous generation? Or just busy? Not sure, maybe all. I do think it or something like it has potential for library use. I don't buy the arguement that kids don't like to see things like libraries on "their" turf. As the users age (that is, grow up) and new users find us already there, this will become an increasingly moot point and the expection will be that we (and everyone/thing is there). I helped a grandma find her military grandson's page that other day, so yay for this project!

Meebo might catch my fancy if I had friends who used it but we all have gmail accounts and chat there. I can see the value of using it in the library and teaching patrons to use it.

I have discarded Bloglines entirely and have gone back to my Pageflakes ways. Use it everyday.

I think it is valuable to be familiar with 2.0 trends and to have time to try them out. I'd like to see this be an ongoing program with, maybe, one new site/program/trend every month so once everyone has gone through this initial ramp-up.
