Don't forget to stop by the Social Media Conference on December 2, 2011. This is the inaugural conference for the Texas Social Media Research Institute, which is affiliated with Tarleton's Communications Department.
Social media is defined by Merriam-Webster as " forms of electronic communication (as Web sites for social networking and micro-blogging) through which users create online communities to share information, ideas, personal messages, and other content (as videos)."
Social media affects many aspects of modern life, including politics, education, privacy, commerce and, of course, people's social lives...online and offline.
There is a terrific lineup of speakers, which you can view here: http://tinyurl.com/SMC2011Schedule .
Several sessions will be held at the library--two sessions will be led by one of our librarians, Amanda Pape. One is on LibraryThing, and the other is on using social media sites for genealogy.
Paid registrants will be entered into a drawing to win a free iPod Touch. You can still register here.

Excellent post. You must continue to offer excellent resources and content like you have been offering. I will most likely stop by again in the future.
It took me time to learn all the comments, but I honestly loved the blog. It proved to be very advantageous to me and I'm positive to all of the followers here!
