blogs vs boards

Blogs are for a specific group or person to place ideas and post and receive visitor comments.  Visitors don't start messages  and only the owner post to people they want to see it. To deliver a message.  Boards are used to solicit feedback and generates dialogue between users in a group.  They are a more open, less monitored environment with more activity that everyone can engage in. I think they are both useful depending on who is using it and for what.  If I want everyone's opinion on something I want to go to a board but if i have something to say to a particular group only, then i want a blog.

facebook/myspace compare and also to linkened/plaxo

Facebook is a network for friends,family, classmates more to only people you know and allow . People looking for professional careers.  My space is for people looking for creative careers, and is a more open view to anyone's profile.  More college students are on facebook and more high school students are on my space. These two site are more for socializing than linkedin and plaxo which are geared toward the business networking.

differences between plaxo/linkedin

The only difference i have found is  how your contacts are managed. Plaxo manages your contact information for you. In linkedin you do this yourself. They are both professional, business, social networks.

library thing

this was a good site for finding books and info from the library. It also includes whats happening at libraries> I find this to be a very good site to find any book and students can look up  any info they need- at least all of the strange ones i looked for i found!  It is verrry useful!!
