MUVE
I don't have much experience with MUVEs. I have watched friends play Minecraft. I believe it basically entails people coming together to build environments with blocks. If I were to engage in a MUVE, I don't think it would be Minecraft. I would like something more challenging.
I see librarians using MUVE as more of a coming together to build something for a library. I think this might start out collaborating on something and then using MUVE to construct it. An example might be a main library and its branches collaborating on building a new room for children to play in. They discuss what might be in the room and then they use MUVE to collaborate and illustrate it.
Facebook vs. Twitter
I prefer Facebook over Twitter because I like the different options you have such as posting photos. With Twitter you have to post a link to a photo. Twitter just seems less personal. I like looking at my friends' pages to see what they are doing.
I think Facebook and Twitter are great tools for libraries to use to get their information out to the public. I think they both could be utilized in different ways. I know different employees at our library post our programs on their personal Facebook pages. My library actually has its own Facebook page as well.
Here is an example from the Twitter page of IUPUI:
The Life Health Science Career Fair is this Tuesday! It goes from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in University Library room 1126. http://t.co/UxEVK1ti9s

I am very familiar with social networking. I started out with a Myspace page before Facebook was even heard of. I've had a Facebook account for several years and I also have a Twitter account.
