Social networking is an amazing concept that may soon replace the telephone!! Actually I think it probably has replaced the telephone in households where there is one or more 'millenium generation'. However, for old folks like me, it just requires too much time to check all the time.
Even though I will probably not become hooked on any of these sites, I can see their usefulness. They are good places to connect with friends, long lost or current. Employers can use them to communicate with employees, post events and meetings. Businesses can use them to post current events, services, etc. There seems to be an unlimited use for these sites. All you need is the time to create and maintain them.
After opening my account in Linkedin, I looked for friends in my undergraduate college and found 3 listings for my graduation year. One of the listings was from my roommate whom I had not heard from in many years!!
I do not forsee my library having a facebook or myspace site. I am in a small community hospital that is not very technologically friendly. The staff is on the older side and not very receptive to technology. I don't think the physicians or nurses have time to check sites like these.
