Hi all,
Facebook is another interesting Web 2.0 application. It is also very popular. It is useful for social computing. One can meet people who share similar interests, join groups, and share information about oneself. It is very easy to use. One of the articles we were given to read about the use of Facebook for libraries (which can be read at http://www.sociallibraries.com/course/node/360) brings up a good point, that it would be useful if organizations such as libraries could register and post things about the library. Currently, however, only individual registrations are permitted, and not institutional. This limits its work-related application for libraries to networking with other librarians to discus best practices and other library issues of the day. All in all, it is still an interesting application.
