I really like ALA's MySpace. I spent some time looking at the videos from the latest conference. I also looked at the other examples listed. Will a "Millennium" actually spend some time at their library's MySpace site? I wouldn't but I'm the wrong generation. I guess the point is to be where ever your patrons might look but it takes a lot of time to keep all this up to date. You absolutely have to keep it up to date. If I go to a site that has old information, I never go back again.
I made an account on MySpace, invited friends, and then immediately canceled it. Carol had time to answer my invite but that's about it. Somehow I ended up single. Didn't see that anywhere when I was signing up. I should have just made up stuff but I didn't so I didn't feel comfortable having any of my info up there. There's a Tom who must have his MySpace site set to immediately send out an invite to new members. Strange.
I can see it's uses and if I had a library I'd probably make a site for the library.
