MySpace Libraries

Huh?
I've looked at quite a few libraries myspace sites, and I'm not sure I see the point. To be honest, I fond some of them a little embarrassing, although I find my own site embarrassing as well, so maybe I'm just being overly cringy.

But still, who are they reaching? The friends lists are made up of more authors and organisations than patrons, because really, why would kids want a library as a 'friend' in their social network? would they want to list their school, or individual teachers? don't forget, once you have been added you can not only see blogs, rude comments, smutty bulletins, etc. but get notifications of them as well. Isn't it a little like inviting an authority figure to a sleepover? myspace is supposed to be a fun, social, gossipy place for friends, and fans. I can appreicate that libraries need to promote themselves and their activities, but in the social networking sites, who is listening?
