After wandering through these social media sites (Digg, Reddit, Newsvine, Mixx), I started wondering how I was going to sift through the tabloid type content to things I would consider worthwhile. Of each of the sites, Newsvine had the best pieces of journalism. I was reminded that, as with all Internet content, the source needs to be considered and evaluated to determine if something is credible. I guess I prefer some filters to reduce the trivial instead of depending on popular vote.
I don't think I would spend much time on sites like these. Just because a site or article is popular doesn't make it worthwhile...think celebrity babies.
Libraries need to be aware of the public's viewing habits, but this one is not for me.
Invitation on a Frosty Morning
I enjoyed a walk of a very frosty morning recently. The crisp calm air and hoarfrost clining to the trees was invigorating. This in one of my favorite photos from that morning.
