Good point but increasingly it seems as if Facebook is more an entry 
point for various types of communication, including friends of course, 
but also professional and personal interests.

I mean, just looking at my own list, I've got the Chicago Historical 
Society, a couple of my old schools and something called 'Static FBML' 
whose meaning I honestly can't remember.

Assuming a similar collection (adjusted for age) on the part of our 
users and I don't think it's too exotic if the library starts banging on 
their Facebook door as well.
