Learn the answers to these questions and many more, as well as discovering if your library can effectively engage (or not) with young people in social media.
2. So many questions….

• Do they even want to be reached?
20. “The sheer size of Facebook’s
userbase, nearly 1 billion strong,
has made it the high school
cafeteria of social networks, while
sites like Twitter and Tumblr have
become the basement rec-room
to which only a select few gain
admission. Parents, notably, are
excluded. “

28. Is MySpace dead?
“MySpace was an important part of the
social web's early history. Its time has
passed, though. “
“MySpace is an embarrassment for
most people on the web. Many people
feel like it's a bratty kid sister wearing
too little clothing. “
33. “Almost half of 12- to 17-

For a teenager, this is about the same as giving up oxygen or water. Time-strapped Kirby likes that she can put up a status message about what she's doing and hundreds of her friends know in seconds. Sometimes, she'll post that she's studying for a big test, and she instantly receives comments of support and encouragement. Facebook is "how we talk to each other," Ben said. "You're in the know so much more quickly than you would be at school," Isabel said.
Verbling—website does this now Verbling is a web-based platform where individuals can pair up with native speakers to practice speaking new languages on live video. Genius Idea: Verbling makes language learning easy by offering a free way to connect instantly with native speakers with timed prompts and conversation-starting topics.
