Social Networking Tools - Or Welcome to Facebook!

I set up my accounts with Facebook and Linkin. I much preferred Facebook (you can see my profile here. I was able to locate several of my colleagues very quickly, and add some useful utilities. Our Library is considering using Facebook for our staff. For those who are used to it, it could be a potentially friendlier atmosphere for communication (and a way to select JUST the applications they use the most, in a format that is easy for them to find).

However, I do think new users should be cautioned about just what information about themselves they should make available. I can see libraries needing to formulate guidelines for their staff!
