Facebook, Facebook, Facebook. I'm a regular reader but I don't regularly contribute anything, other than 'liking' a particular image or post. I've found Facebook to be a bit narcissistic with lots of attention seeking and often not a lot of content. Sometimes this is slightly amusing but more often than not it is just plain annoying and its something I can live without.
Twitter seems to be much the same. It took me a long time to work out the point of Twitter because I really don't care what some random celebrity had for breakfast. When I discovered the Tweets from NLNZ - National Library of NZ I finally got what Twitter was all about (or what it should be about IMHO). Everyday they tweet about a favourite thing found in the archives - usually an image or some dodgy advertising from back in the day. Its pretty good really.
Overall I think that social networking is something that's here to stay. I can't really see myself embracing it completely though. Its a nice way to keep up with what people are doing but I can't imagine myself posting regularly.

I can't see myself fully embracing social networking, either. I do like the idea of a twitter post drawing attention in a brief way to something in a collection or archive, like the National Library's offering.
So much more useful. The twitter posts I've enjoyed the most have been ones that alerted to something of interest rather than the tweeter's thought of the moment.
