Thang 13

Wow! What a fight last night; two badgers in a noisey and vicious tussle. It may have been a male badger trying to force himself on a female, but she wasn't taking it. He would have been more successful if he used Facebook. He could have posted photos of his cosy den and share stories on favourite hunting grounds for snails and sweet corn. He could have revealed his sensitive side with poems about new moon nights with the hooting of the barn owl echoing through the whispering trees and how he dreams of romping through the fields with his cubs. And she might have said: Darling, where have you been all my nocturnal nights. Ahhhhh.

Looking over the Facebooks of some Oxford U libraries made me wonder why they didn't combine all their Twitter, Blogs, LibraryThing, Delicious, Webpages on Facebook; a one-stop shop for information. You could have a tab for each one along with a Discussion forum tab. Some are missing a trick in a lack of stories about the library and more photos. How about some library history? Tom Kirtly cartoons? I was wondering why 200 Peruvians wanted to become fans of the Education Library. Did it give them access to information which they couldn't do via the internet? Did they hope to discuss issues with professors and student at Education Studies in the Discussion tab of ESL's Facebook? There is an interesting story brewing here.

I'm now creating my own Facebook. It's been painful since I was expecting it to be like Blogger.
