Yes, I must be ancient!

It's true, I have worked in libraries for 29yrs!

I hope 23 Things will help me get a more contemporary fix on areas of online life that sometimes pass those of us in their 40s by.

Up until now I haven't done much social media networking. I do sometimes visit Mumsnet, Twitter and Facebook but I'm not signed up to many sites like this. I like to read forums and blogs but have not been much of a joiner. It would be true to say that in 'offline' life I am a joiner but I'm less comfortable in the virtual world. Just inexperience and age really. Note to self - don't mention the age too much!

  2. Hello mummybear46
    Don't worry about the age thing, I think you must know that quite a few of us are in our forties. It's not ancient, just that sometimes your body feels like it. I thought I was quite clued up about the digital natives - why they don't share our attitudes and reluctance to put everything out there in the Internet. I found this article recently which opened my eyes even more -http://www.infotoday.com/cilmag/may10/Blowers.shtml
    You might find it useful too. Talks about strategies for dealing with the d natives, but what I found most interesting was the concise analysis of their on line behaviour.
