I guess that I am just a little gunshy where Facebook is concerned. My son-in-law is a grade six teacher. Both he and my daughter had posts on Facebook. A friend uploaded a couple of pictures from their stag and doe last summer to their site. Although neither my daughter, nor my son-in-law had a drink in their hand in the picture, some of their friends did. A reporter from the Kitchener Record accessed the site and called my son-in-law in the fall, at school, demanding to know how he was fit to teach children when he clearly liked to party. The fact that the party took place in the summer, apparently had no bearing. Although the reporter never wrote the story that she threatened to, it caused a lot of hurt and upset that was totally unnecessary.

I would not consider posting anything about our non-profit on Facebook. I think that there are better ways to get the word out there, the foremost being our own website, over which we have control of the content.

The Library Thing was ok. But again, you can just spend way too much time browsing around these sites. It's a really nice day out there today, and I prefer to go for a walk rather than spend an hour communicating with people I don't know.
