I'm So Lonely I Could Cry

Facebook is undoubtedly a very popular means of connecting with friends and other individuals with whom one has something in common. It appears to have an slightly older average clientele than YouTube or MySpace. The article, long though it was, gave much food for though pertaining to the use of Facebook by libraries to reach their users. Simply being present, with a link or two, will not popularize the library. Being present with a defined purpose, such as sincerely soliciting feedback from user as to their preferences in media selection may be useful indeed. Perhaps they will tell us that we should stop buying CD's of currently popular music because CD's are no longer the medium of choice for the under-30 crowd.

I created a Facebook account, but I only have one friend. Is that sad, or what??? (Sorry Bob, KRL2pt0 doesn't count)
