Facebook

Well I've just joined facebook and I'm waiting for my 'friends' to reply so I can post something.  I guess that people like facebook for all sorts of reasons and some people use it as a lifeline but again I'm just not that attched to technology and I would never be able to commit to something online like facebook.  However, knowing that so many millions of people are regular users means that for the library its a fantastic communication tool and could easily be used to engage people.  Having looked at a few of the library facebook pages I can see how well they could work for public libraries.  I like that it creates a mini community of users.
