I think some sites would be much better targets than others. And while I think Second Life is interesting, I don't think it (or MySpace) would be very helpful for OOo promotion. However, Facebook has a different audience and is perceived differently, so I think if any social networking site would work, it's Facebook.
Further, Facebook's large cadre of students is a great audience for general OOo messaging. I have always thought students are one of the markets where our advertising and promotional efforts will be most effective and cost-effective (this coming from a USA perspective, of course).
