I'm not a member of Facebook and I'm not really interested in that sort of thing, but if there's not such a list I can see the importance of one for those who are interested. If there's already not such a list and someone wants to start one, I'd be willing to host such a list on my site. I wouldn't want to run it just because it's not my thing, although I might join and become interested at some point, but I would be willing to host it.

Monica if there is a listserve for blind facebook users perhaps you can mention it and folks can start there for answers. Perhaps you can have a question and answer session later. Perhaps you can set up a mailbox where somebody can post a question and then post a question and answer list somewhere.Hope these ideas are useful.Are folks allowed by facebook to promote personal business interests such as advertising to particular segments or mentioning that a person has such and such a business?Elizabeth At 05:48 PM 2/3/2009, you wrote:Shane, thanks for mentioning that. I hope people will come tonight instead of waiting for the stream if they can because there will be a chance to askquestions tonight that won't be available from listening to a stream or archive. I'm glad they make the archives available for people. I guess I feel a little concerned about people having a place to go with questionsafter listening to the recorded program. I need to find a way for people toget help later if needed.
