I have a wee look at Auckland City Libraries Bebo page (am a bit anti Bebo because of all the angst the kids have given us here in the library with Bebo in the past!) Seems a bit juvenile to me.
Looked at Myspace - learnt that you can use it like a dating service (!!) searching for people who fit certain "specifications" like dating sites do. News to me. Otherwise pretty similar to other social networking sites.
My favourite is Facebook mainly because I have my own profile on it and have had heaps of fun for a couple of years with it. This week I added the Books I Read application, kind of like LibraryThing and sent a hilarious video to 3 friends.
Only frustration with Facebook is I can't search for people using my email address because it doesn't support searches using xtra.
Hennepin County Library - good idea having link to their catalogue and website, also able to chat to a librarian.
