Methods 1 and 2

Web 2.0 and library 2.0 are almost interchangeable in my mind. I'd love to see every library using all of the tools that are available. Being able to utilize these 2.0 tools allows libraries and librarians to connect to their students, users, and patrons in ways that are more comfortable for the library user.
How many high school or middle school students would ask more questions of a librarian if they could do it on chat, facebook, twitter, etc?
How many connections can librarians make with others like them from around the world using twitter, facebook, skype, or secondlife?
The possiblities are endless, and I can't wait to see what ideas libraries come up with.
