Facebook

I've been on Facebook for about 5 years when it hit my university just before finals, and was far more attractive than revising... I don't use it nearly as much now, partly because of a lack of time, partly because my social situation has changed since then, and partly because the novelty's worn off. I like it for keeping in touch with people I otherwise would have lost touch with, and for sharing photos, but don't use many applications or other add-ons.

I'm unconvinced about libraries and Facebook. I think the potential is there: it's where a good proportion of users are and can bring together tweets, information, catalogue links and news, making Facebook something of a one-stop shop, but I'm not sure that's how people use Facebook. Facebook is primarily a social thing, not study, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who doesn't want to be reminded about reading lists and opening hours when I'm trying to catch up with friends. I'm sure it works for some people, but I have doubts about its mass appeal.
