I agree strongly with Judy and Ursula -- I'd like Lit-Id to remain as an email thingie and Facebook to be the social adjunct to Lit-Id. I doubt I've used the word 'adjunct' since 1973. I do like Facebook better than the blog thingie. It's much more user-friendly and flexible and inviting and versatile and I think people will check it out more often than the blog thingie. Anyway, that's my opinion thingie.

I think it would be terrible if the e-list went, I agree with Ursula on that. The only reasons to support Facebook are the ones John gave (which amount to, people don't need to remember the blog's name etc.). Obviously Facebook has a lot to offer some people but it also has little to offer others.... There's a compromise, move the list to Yahoo (webmail and pop mail, as atfreelists, plus photos and files, database, calendar...), the Yahoo groups Ibelong to seem to work well. But I seem to recall people here not wanting Yahoo when the list was last moved.So I imagine it's best to leave things as they are, list plus Facebook page-- I'd still like the Facebook group open, I realise that could create problems but don't think it would in practice.

I love the instantaneousness. I love the wit. I love the ease. I love the simplicity. I think some of that would be lost. I could go on andon...Ursula, underwhelmed as well...
