I know from YouTube and Bebo and MySpace, courtesy of my teenage girls -- but
I haven't messed around with FaceBook yet -- I'll take a look around it, but
does it offer any means of a digest, even, appearing in your e-mail w/out your
having to log into the website? I mean -- I check my e-mail so frequently
during the day -- and so when I notice a Lit-Id post, I (sort of) keep up with
it. I'd hate to have to sign in every couple hours or so to communicate. I've
been thinking about some alternatives too -- e.g. some of the free on-line
programs that allow you to "see" others' stuff -- or share your own -- a la
Plaxo and Google's "Remember The Milk" -- both file & calendering options that
stay up to date.... There's also the communication aspect of Delicious......

(John, can you post this to the list? The server is rejecting my emails at

Actually, I'm totally open to that idea. Facebook would work quite well: we
can have a group and keep it private (invitation only). We can do video,
pixs, etc. There are many new things happening online.
It's a bit odd that we're still using an email list, which is like from the
early 90s!
Best of all, I wouldn't have to be the admin. Facebook handles all of that
(but then, you wouldn't get personal service).
Let's test this. A few people try it out and see if we can do a discussion.
The downside is that you have to log into Facebook. No more emails. Part of
the nice thing about this list is that you get emails. At least someone
other than your cat pays attention to you.
I'm already on Facebook. Get an acct at FB and link to me.

I just created a group at Facebook. It's called: Literature and Ideas (Very
creative, no?)
Log into Facebook and go to Groups and search for the group. Ask to become
a
member (I have to approve). If you want, we can make it open; anyone can
join and I don't have to admin the applications.
yrs,
andreas
