Rebecca and I have been playing around a bunch with Facebook and have quite a few friends and colleagues that we connect with there. Definitely an interesting space. I’m looking forward to Aaron Schmidt’s presentation next week, Tuesday, May 1st, 3-4pm ET (12-1am PT). It’s part of the Education Institute’s Tech Tuesdays: Talking with Techies Series — Facebook and MySpace: Pros and Cons for Libraries, a one hour audio conference. Here’s what he’s covering:

Much has been written about the negative aspects of Facebook and MySpace. But are these technologies useful to libraries? Can you use these new social computing tools to create and cement your on-line presence within your community whether you are a public, academic, or school library? Filled with practical examples of libraries utilizing these techniques, this workshop debates the use of new technologies and provides lots of easy to implement ideas for using them within your environment.
