[Web4lib] Facebook

[Brian Gray]

There have been libraries that have joined Second Life recently, so I am not
sure what your "I didn't think so" comments is going for. The tone of your
emails suggests you have already made up your mind or you are looking for
reasons to avoid web 2.0 technologies.

Web 2.0 is not for everyone, and it takes times and money to implement. If
there is a certain tool or techniques you are considering, maybe you should
ask for examples to explore.
