I find it slightly amusing that libraries are now using myspace and facebook. As a young person, I'm not a fan of myspace or facebook. I see many people come in to the library and use both, and I'm surprised at how much personal information people put up. I suppose it makes sense for libraries to start using them as well. Myspace allows users to post blogs, and libraries could use this tool to make posts about what is happening in the library. Other users can post comments on the library's myspace, maybe what they thought of an event or how the library could improve. Myspace also allows users to send out bulletins or announcements; libraries could use this to inform users about upcoming events or news.
As to microblogging, I know many bands now that are using Twitter. For example, my favorite band is currently on tour. Even though they may not have a lot of time to post a blog on a computer, they are able to send updates to their Twitter account by text message (using their phones) so fans know how the tour is going. Libraries could use microblogging to keep people updated on library news.
