Social networking

I have a very nice time on Facebook. It has been a great way for me to keep up with friends, and to check out what my daughter is up to! My son won't let me on his, so I only imagine the worst. I like looking at people's photos and generally being quite nosy. I really liked what I saw of Onlinegroups and think it works better than Ning, but I will try it out and see. Good way to set up an interest group that can be quite personal and not as large as facebook. Mind you, on facebook y0u can join any multitude of interest groups if you wanted to - or had the time! I keep on harping back to time....there really does have to be a lot of it if you are going to truly become part of the online social networking world.
I know that some libraries use facebook and I think it is a good idea, just because so many people use it and it really is a one stop shop. Saves trawling through websites and blogs, but can also direct people to good stuff that we have.
Could we set up social networking for specific interest groups with a Library focus?
