Thing 20 Libraries & Social Networks

I realize that social networking is heavily used by young people but personally I would never use either Facebook or Myspace. Although for the library that may be a different story. It looks like creating a social website has far more advantages compared to creating a blog. Being in a smaller library, there isn't a demand for creating one at this time especially since there is so much to do already with the other applicable web tools! I don't anticipate utilizing such a tool. Although I am impressed by the HCO & Denver's Library MySpace sites. If I did create a social page for our library I would choose Facebook. I think it would be fun to "connect" with teens and young adults on their level!
