MySpace - to be there or not to be

Everything I've seen of MySpace looks to be fun and interesting. There seems such potential for communicating with others, for reaching others, for showing off what an who one is. It looks very easy to use. In fact, it looks easy to not only use the basics, but to make one's space look very special indeed. It almost looks like fun. I can see that it's popular because of all the interesting people and organizations that have a page there: libraries, artists (I've run across tom hanks & jimmy buffet & know there are more), bands (my nephew's band) all sorts of weird and interesting people. I don't feel the need to publicize my self by putting out a page, but it's been intersting to find others there. I can see even more value in our library putting up a MySpace page, if we can make it interesting & exciting - a place people'd like to visit. We could maybe stream videos of some of our programs, add web links to book lists & shelfari-sort of places, have various blogs from our staff and connect to our "Ask the Library". It could be quite cool and would be fun to help design.
