MySpace + Libraries = ?

While the rational part of me recognizes the usefulness of libraries joining MySpace to reach younger library users, I still have a hard time visualizing it. Most teens think we’re lame to start with- so how do we create spaces that are attractive and engaging? Is it harder to be lame online as opposed to in person? Since we’re creating these sites as groups and over time does that allow us to be more appealing? This generation shops at stores I’m afraid to go into- Abercrombie & Fitch is pretty imposing- plus I’ve yet to forgive them for replacing the Disney Store at Bell Square. I finally ventured into American Eagle but only with two teenagers to prove I was worthy of wandering around. I concede that this is a good way to reach teens, but it would take a focus group of teen approval before I'd be comfortable putting something up to attract them.
