Thingy 20: Social networks

I took a look at MySpace because I really don't want to register for a social network at this time. I started by doing some searching and am not sure whether or not to be surprised that I didn't find anyone with my last name there. I did find a few libraries and was amazed to learn that my library is female and a Capricorn! Library bloggers seem to spend a lot of time agonizing over the pros and cons of using social networking sites to promote their libraries and worrying about invading patrons'/students' space. But why not? These sites give patrons and students a way (ok, another way) to interact with us, a voice in what is really their space--the library.
