I found this to be more fun than I expected, and think this should be a mandatory task for all new hires to the library, especially if they work with the public, because I have a feeling that they are more savvy about this stuff than most staff.
While I agree we should know about this technology, I think much of it really isn't relevant to our day to day library function. This is especially true for anything reference that is created and maintained by the public. It's like the old "SOME say that blah, blah, blah"--you can't vet the information, so don't give it out as an answer to a question!!!
Much of this technology is used to connect people socially, which could possibly be used to connect professional librarians.
