Social Networking 2.5

Definitely Facebook and Twitter are getting to the public and they are a great way of communicating with people. It's insane you can't find someone by email or phone but you can definitely find them on Facebook. Even a movie will come out about the story of Facebook. Click here to read about it. (it already has more than 700 'tweets' by the way).
The Library could really use it to promote the events, services and programs offered.
When this module came out on Learn 2.x a co-worker tested out promoting the Mango Languages database to her friends on Facebook, and in a matter of minutes people where asking her more about it and how they could use it. Even though some of us might not like some of these technologies there are thousands (maybe millions) of people that do, and if we want to reach out to them we have to do it through the means they constantly use.
