I dunno, what do you think?

I've had multiple people lately ask me if I'm on Facebook. I am slightly dubious about committing even more time to yet another website, but the other side of that is keeping in touch with people I don't see that often. And as far as my vague understanding goes, it's not like you have to commit to continually adding content, like a blog.

Also, I have foolishly committed myself to putting together a workshop on libraries and social networking tools and having a passing familiarity with the whole MySpace-Facebook thing would be good. But do I need to actually do it myself?

So, flist, what do you guys think about Facebook?

I have a Facebook because I've been following referral links to some of my pages ... and that's it. I'm just not impressed in any way with anything Facebook has to offer.

But I also loathe MySpace (despite having one of those too), so take that as you will.

Yeah, I'm partly playing with it because I've read about various libraries creating MySpace and Facebook pages, usually as part of the teen section of their website. (And guess what, we're getting a teen page on our website! And guess who will be providing 99% of the content...) I figure I should at least have a passing familiarity with it first.
