Comments on: director facebooking http://www.walkingpaper.org/508 A library design consultancy, shop and blog by Aaron Schmidt Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:25:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Adam C http://www.walkingpaper.org/508/comment-page-1#comment-20577 Adam C Fri, 09 Nov 2007 03:09:52 +0000 http://www.walkingpaper.org/508#comment-20577 as aaron stated in his post, befriending him on facebook wasn't a big deal because i have very little of my life shown on facebook. i think if i was an avid user i would definitely have paused before hitting the "accept" button. i still think i would have accepted though. aaron mentioned that i use goodreads quite a bit (which i heartily recommend). if aaron was so inclined he'd quickly learn a lot about my interests, political persuasions, religious views, etc. but i'm totally cool with him knowing these things because i wouldn't feel that my job would be compromised in any way. it's the embarrassing stuff that i'd worry about. although i don't think i'd ever post pictures of me at the "dress to get laid" party in college, it'd suck for aaron if i did and he didn't want to see them. generally i think employee's interacting over SNS is a good thing. we just need to be cautious in how much we share, just like real life conversations. as aaron stated in his post, befriending him on facebook wasn’t a big deal because i have very little of my life shown on facebook. i think if i was an avid user i would definitely have paused before hitting the “accept” button. i still think i would have accepted though. aaron mentioned that i use goodreads quite a bit (which i heartily recommend). if aaron was so inclined he’d quickly learn a lot about my interests, political persuasions, religious views, etc. but i’m totally cool with him knowing these things because i wouldn’t feel that my job would be compromised in any way. it’s the embarrassing stuff that i’d worry about. although i don’t think i’d ever post pictures of me at the “dress to get laid” party in college, it’d suck for aaron if i did and he didn’t want to see them. generally i think employee’s interacting over SNS is a good thing. we just need to be cautious in how much we share, just like real life conversations.

I've noticed that our younger and/or more tech-savvy staff do not come to training as often and after talking with some of them it turns out that they do not go to check our staff Intranet for training opportunities. Since most of them are already on Facebook and/or MySpace I'm working on setting up a staff training account so we can connect with this demographic of our staff. SNS has and it becoming an essential way to reach out to our customers whether they are internal or external customers. With its popularity I can only imagine what SNS will be like in 10-years!
