Social Networking

I found this post on the blog iLibrarian: Hottest Facebook Groups for Librarians. It lists some librarian groups, association groups, conference/event groups, and web application groups (like Library Thing). Might be something to check out.
I also came across Social Networking for Book Lovers in the post 80 Online Resources for Book Lovers; it mentions using places like LibraryThing, Shelfari, Good Reads and some others, to network and share the book reading experience with others.

I don't have a lot of experience using Facebook or MySpace - actually practically none. I signed up for Facebook, probably only a month ago, to see what it was like. Then, I thought I'd see how MySpace compares. I know people that use both, but so far I haven't done much with either one. It isn't very convenient for me to use since I don't have internet at home.
My brother was my first friend on Facebook. He had to sign up for it for a class he took at CUC and since then he has found a lot of people he knows, and some he used to know in Missouri.

As for libraries using these social networking sites, I suppose libraries could make the link to the sorts of services that are provided in the library world - maybe it could be used for research, marketing, support and development of new stuff,... an idea exchange perhaps. Let the word out about what libraries can do.

Wow, it's hard to believe we only have a few weeks left of library 2.0 challenge. How time does fly.
