Just a small aside… but I’ve been doing real live work the last two days using facebook (go friend me – David Lee King at facebook)!
Michael Porter, my writing buddy, is to blame for some of it… 
We write the Internet Spotlight column in Public Libraries Magazine together, and he posted a question to his facebook friends. The plan is to incorporate some of those responses, some he’d gotten via email, etc into a cool article [status: article almost done, and IS cool].
So part of the work was copying/pasting quotes and contacting the quotees to get job titles, etc. Whew!
But that has spawned a whole host of facebook emailing back and forth, getting new information, thinking “out loud” via facebook email about library innovation in other areas, and even making a few new facebook friends.
So – real live library work in facebook. It can be done! Anyone else want to pony up? How do you use facebook to do actual work (or do you?).
