Library Thing looks like a neat concept, but more on a personal level than anything that I could see being useful for our organization. It did seem very easy to use. I liked the features such as suggesting books that I might like once I had added a couple of books to my library.
Facebook is a tool that I can see direct usefulness for our organization and we are using it in a very limited way to advertise events. We should post an organization page, but haven't yet. Concerns I can see with it are finding the staff time to set it up and then monitor it. Because of the nature of Facebook there is the danger that we can't control what is posted in terms of negative comments and opinion as opposed to fact. Careful monitoring would help this, but again that is more staff time.

You are absolutely right about facebook, security and filtering of information are a real problem for buisnesses. Really, this is a problem with a lot of open source software.
