Social networks

Web based social networking could work really well for genealogists.
Networking forums for patrons researching their family history would be a super efficient method of tracing long lost relatives.
Online tutorials via Youtube on family history could be a fun activity.
A small course on how to trace your ancestors arrival in Australia via shipping records could be achieved.
I reckon libraries promoting/offering their services via a site such as Facebook would be a wonderful way to encourage younger people into the library world.
Things such as local history could also promoted via Myspace etc. with people throwing stories and ideas around about the history of the local region.
