Set up Googletalk and added users for a ‘chat’.
Communication wise, this would be a handy tool because of its ‘real-time’ capability. It could be useful for something like Infoquest or communication between library branches or sections.

Facebook is up and running under my stage name – Johnny Crunch! Have added John Munch as a friend.
Facebook, on the whole is a great communication tool for people to keep in touch or to network. The layout is easy to navigate now that I have acclimitised to 2.0 technology.
Personally, it ain’t my bag, baby. This concept is great for the kiddies – I like to keep in touch with people through email – more detail and privacy. The correspondence on Facebook and Myspace mainly consists of text not much longer than an SMS message. Its all one and two sentence comments. As a ‘Noticeboard’, yes, it would have some function in terms of disseminating simple information.
I feel I don’t need to advertise my thoughts or interests in a public arena; go looking for people I have not seen since school; or go looking for people that supposedly share my interests/hobbies.
