I viewed the video, and I looked at the MySpace pages from the six libraries listed. I decided to comment on the latter.
1. Generally speaking, MySpace.com is a fun, socially-oriented site, but it certainly couldn't hurt for libraries to have a presence there. Still, a library's page must look interesting. A dull page is a turn-off to potential friends.
2. The libraries that put the Meebo widgit on their MySpace pages were cleverly linking their patron/friends directly to their services. In addition, a(n) (open) link to the OPAC, and a large link to the libraries' home page might also be in order on any library's MySpace page. A library's MySpace page can be fun, and still provide a direct route to people, services, and resources.
