I like the idea of connecting MLA members with social networking. Unlike a listserv where an email is sent out to everyone and a few people may respond, I think it would be easier to contact people that you can search out that have like interests, situation, etc. Then you could form groups and post and respond to each other-it would feel more personal I think.
I could see using a blog in our library vs a myspace or facebook page. At least at this time I don't know that it would be a useful tool, especially considering time for staff to keep up with it. I could definitely see linking a blog off our intranet site and could see that getting use and generating contacts.
I think there are always privacy concerns on the internet, and that people should use discretion with what and how much information they want to put out there.
I liked the experience and I will definitely use one or both for personal use.
