The AfterWeb
This Time article, Facebook’s Big Move Toward the AfterWeb,  is very interesting.  The Facebook part is interesting enough, however the portion on Adobe Air and the afterweb is relevant for libraries.  Personally I have always doubted the usefulness of Facebook in libraries.  Don’t get me wrong, I’ve seen some good library sites in Facebook, I’m just not sure that our patrons want us in their space.  What I do feel is useful is to leverage the power of Facebook and other social networking resources.  If we can develop apps for Facebook and mash this up with local data using something like Adobe Air, now we are talking!
