The explosive growth of social networking through applications such as MySpace and Facebook had led to the obvious question: can this type of service support professional networking as well as social networking?
One of the first initiatives in the world in this regard is me.edu.au which was launch for Australian educators during December. This service is being developed by education.au, the home of edna, so current edna subscribers will automatically gain a space on me.edu. If you would like to try out the test site, see below.
If already an edna registered
member, enter your current edna username and password. You will be
prompted to update two fields within the registration system
- a profile name, this will be your own url for
me.edu.au, and then a general privacy setting
If not an edna member, Click register
and complete the registration form with as much detail as possible
Your own profile homepage should
then open
Now you can update your profile
and add information
You can also find colleagues that
already are a part of the test system
