I'm pleased to announce the launch of _Friends: Social Networking Sites for Engaged Library Services _,  "a blog devoted to application and use of online social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace for any and all types of library-related programs or services."

Friends will include announcements, general news, as well as citations and links to significant articles, books, and other publications about online social networking in general and their use by libraries and librarians.
