You have a website - but that's not really where people gather. Today's digital "gathering places" include popular hangouts like Facebook and Twitter, and libraries need to be there, too. This presentation answers some burning questions about those digital hangouts, including: why use those sites, and which sites are important, how much time should be spent there, and what strategies can be used to turn them from interesting toy to useful tool.
