i-Google is so easy to use, it reminds me of using tools like MSN Messenger, but with much more diversity. The customisation is wonderful and is a great way to get more people interested. Plus more importantly to stay interested!
I had never seen Ping before and was really impressed. I have been deterred from migrating to Facebook on a professional level because it would mean another website to update, and also the limitations that others have mentioned of having Twitter users that don't want to be on Facebook being restricted. Ping is a great solution to all of those problems.
Ping would also allow us to update our Youth Blog at the same time as we update Facebook and Twitter pages.
My fear is that once we make the move into these social networking sites are the users going to pack up and leave? There is a trend where people move away from the information that they once deemed important, but now see as "boring".

I think you need to view some of the web 2.0 tools as potentially transitory, and be ready to move to other tools over time. No one knows how long Flickr and Twitter will last, but they are good tools for the present. There may be better or different tools along in the future which your library may need to shift to.
