Facebook, Twitter, and Wikis Oh My!

With reading articles and viewing video footage of the TED conference discussing Web 2.0 tools I really feel that I have not been using all of the social media tools to my personal advantage.  I have played around with them in the past, using Twitter feeds of job postings to find work, and checking in on long lost friends from high school and former co-workers on Facebook.  I just never thought about how libraries use these tools for marketing, exposure, patron services, etc.  It is almost imperative to have a Web 2.0 presence for LIS institutions in the current information realm.  There are so many ways to foster relationship with patrons and future patrons via these tools.  And these Web 2.0 tools also provide means to drive possible foot traffic to library institutions themselves.  

I am still trying to again a better understanding of Wiki(s) and the usefulness. Maybe as I learn more about them I can become a fan of them or even using them within my working experiences.
