Social Networking

I set up a Face book account with no trouble. I can see where it could be helpful in passing on information for friends and family. I'm not sure how Face book would work with the library. I did check out Linked In and think that networking system would be a more useful network for information regarding what other libraries are doing. I'm not sure about the library customers using it to contact the library. I think that IM'ing would be a better source.
