Target

I had a discussion about Myspace and Facebook with one of my colleagues in the museum department a few months ago and he compared Myspace to Walmart and Facebook to Target. I laughed and thought it was a good comparison. It's been fun locating old friends on Facebook. The Facebook team threw me a curve ball with the changes they made to the layout, but I'm adjusting. I don't visit my Myspace account nearly as often as Facebook. I also spend more time in Target than in Walmart. (I also live closer to a Target than a Walmart so this may not entirely be Walmart's fault.) Both sites can be very useful for promoting the VHS.

I just signed up for a meebo account. I'm embarrassed to say that it has been so long since I instant messaged anyone that I have no idea what my AIM password is. Usually I end up on the telephone because one or both of the parties involved in the IM is tired of typing. My family has recently discovered Skype as a way to talk to each other using our computer's video cameras instead of IM. It confuses the dogs, but saves a lot of typing.
