Social Networking Sites?
Most of the popular left blogs have now migrated, more or less, to Facebook, including a few Stoush.net warriors.
I’ve even found a few people on LinkedIn, a “facebook” for professionals.
Tim Dunlop has a bit to say:
I’ve had a while in which to experiment with the system and must say it’s a pretty good way of chatting, keeping in contact with people, and even of making appointments etc. If you’ve got a site of your own and want to add me to your “friends” list, I’m sure you’ll find me in there somewhere via the previous link.
Mark at LP also says:
I’ve found it fun for similar reasons to Dr Cat, and also had the very pleasing experience of catching up with a couple of old friends I’d lost track of, one of whom is visiting ‘Vegas soon. The particular interface of Facebook, I think, facilitates both reviving old ties and wasting time with friends really well, and its ease of use probably substitutes for email or phone contacts, and prompts in turn more personal interaction.
So if we built an LP group on Facebook, would anyone come?
What is the view of Stoush regulars? Facebook - a force for good, or evil?

Well it depends. Facebook is a black hole of time. The addictiveness is evil but its a good way to procrastinate and stay in contact (and makes it easier to just have an event and invite everyone)

I haven’t tried Facebook. An issue that blogger.com users face is censorship. My plog has been blocked by the Victorian education department (I believe they block servers not just sites!) and the Chinese. Should I try a Rupert Murdoch company?
