I have had extensive experience using several of social networks. Facebook and Twitter are the two that I have undoubtedly used the most. The two networks are very similar but I think that Facebook is more of an ongoing social relationship builder. Twitter keeps people updated on present day and trending topics. It is less about social connections and more about staying informed. Personally, I use Facebook to look at pictures of friends and family. I use Twitter usually just to follow the news and other current events.
I believe that social networks are very beneficial for library and information science professionals in a variety of ways. One example is that the public library in my hometown uses Facebook to keep patrons informed of upcoming events and programs.
