I just realized that in my haste, I nearly forgot to blog about challenge 19. Out of the short list, I definitely love Youtube (as you saw in the post below). Facebook is one of my new found loves. I used to favor Myspace, but then I found about all the applications on Facebook, and I was hooked. I am sure that I have serious addiction issues. But, this is neither the time, nor the place. I liked all the ones we used in these challenges, too. I am sure that it's no coincidence that they are many of the numero unos on the list. Good job, TLC 2.0 folk! 
Facebook has many cool little games you can play on it, when you add applications. You can even have humans as pets. You can auction them, you can buy them. Searching for souls. Weird, but it's all in fun. You can find old friends and make up for some lost time on Facebook.
Some drawbacks? Well, there's always the stalker issue. You may be found by people who you don't want to be found by. That's never fun. Also, sometimes some of the applications lose their mojo, don't work properly and are down for a bit. But, I suppose it's what happens with new programs.
How might libraries benefit from Facebook? By connecting, of course. Isn't that what it's all about? Connecting with other folk? Plus, others can learn about NSU Libraries through Facebook. It's a winner on many levels.
