Review the widget you selected. Are you getting comfortable with embedding code? Do you belong to other online communities? Are relationships formed online as meaningful as face-to-face relationships? Why do you think Facebook and other social networking sites are so popular with kids today?
I definitely think I am more comfortable embedding code. If I would have known that it was as easy as copying and pasting I wouldn't have waited this long to try it. I do think it is hilarious that I just blogged a week ago about Voki and here it is as one of the 23 things. It is so cool. I already created one, so this time I tried something different. I embedded the map instead. It was easy to do, but now that I think about it I probably won't have many hits from around the world :) It was still fun though.
I am on Facebook, but I have to admit sometimes I am very active on there and then sometimes I go for weeks without checking. My friends and family know how to get a hold of me if they need to. This is why I think online relationships are not nearly as important as those I see face-to-face and make time for.
I think kids like Facebook and similar sites because they want to be "liked" and the want everyone to "like" what they are doing. They get instant approval from their friends
