Social Networking

This is really interesting but a real "time waster" A great way to keep up to date with what your friends are up to and to communicate whether its "wall to wall" or "live chat".

The sites mentioned "Facebook", "Twitter", and "My Space" are all popular with young people and some not so young people! A great way for libraries to advertise an upcoming activity or promotion which they want to get out to a large audience.

Clients could possibly discuss certain books or topics on social networking sites and meet other people with similar interests.

WIKIS ARE FUN

Wikis can be used to communicate with a group of people and allows them to "have their say"
It allows anyone in the group to contribute information and ideas for everyone accessing the wiki site. Anyone in the group can add or delete (edit) the existing wiki page so the rest of the group can be kept informed of whatever the subject happens to be.
