Social Networking sites are appealing to all ages, it seems, and many people seem to be connecting and reconnecting via Facebook, MySpace and others. Folks find others, long lost friends and relatives this way. It has been an exciting time for some when they reconnect. This creates new friendships, renews old aquaintances, and for some, is a lot of fun. My grown children are on Facebook and have been encouraging me to give it a try. I am thinking about it as it would be great to catch up with old friends if they were posting also.
One of the benefits could be communicating with staff, if everyone had a link to the same social networking site. I guess if patrons are using these networking sites anyway, why not add library information into the mix. We know kids are definitely using the sites, and why not use this as a way of informing students about all the library has to offer.

Hey, if my 78 year old father can successfully use Facebook and enjoy it, anyone can. :-)
Facebook is great, I have to say. I am a newbie and find this minimum-effort way of keeping up with lots of friends really appealing. At this point I definitely couldn't give it up!
