MySpace & Facebook

I found looking around the library MySpace pages quite interesting. Most libraries seem to be using it as a tool to reach their teenage and young adult clients, with differring levels of success. I did notice that the libraries with the most friends (friends that weren't other libraries or library professionals) and comments were those who were providing other impressive library services for these same client groups.
I do like the way the National Library of New Zealand is using MySpace as a legal deposit tool -pretty cool http://www.myspace.com/beheardforever

As for Facebook, I am already a convert. I'm one of those who uses it to keep in touch with friends, share photos, organise events, etc etc, oh and of course play scrabulous ;)
