So here I am at week 6 and Facebook. I have had a Facebook page since we last did Web 2 training. I set up my page at that time, but didn't use it for quite a while. Once I got the hang of it and started adding friends, I began looking at people's profiles, photos, sending messages and writing on people's walls! I was hooked for a while, but I wasn't interested in playing Farmville or the other games on there. Anyway, finding myself getting bored with it, I decided it was time to cancel my Facebook page. It was then I found out you can deactivate your account but not delete it! Unless someone can tell me how to delete an account?
A couple of weeks later Web 2.0 came along and guess what? Week 6 was about Facebook. I was able to log back into my Facebook page and reactivate the account and add my name to the Manukau Libraries page.
I added my recent book to the discussion board, as required. I have only reactivated my Facebook page temporarily while we are doing Web 2.0.
However, it is a good way to keep in contact with people or to find old aquaintances and it is quite easy to use. Once you browse through it and find out about all the applications it can be fun for a while, but I probably won't be keeping my page going after this has finished. Lots of people using the Learn-net have Facebook pages and they seem to be able to use it quite easily.

Facebook is definitely not for everyone - even more so since they changed their privacy settings. Congratulations for completing week 6! Once you've completed the online survey and posted your final summary you can feel free to delete your Facebook/Twitter accounts :)
In case you seriously do want to delete your Facebook account permanently there are some instructions at this link here.
