There are way too many social networking sites for all to gather in one.
For this reason if no other, email lists will always have their place as
you can rely on reaching people who opt in via their email address. For
me email brings things to me more conveniently (and more instantly as I
nearly always have an email application open) than any other medium of
communication.
End of.
I have no intention of joining Facebook.

***APOLOGIES FOR RECEIPT OF DUPLICATE POSTINGS***
Friends/
I would most appreciate Your Thoughts on the Pros and Cons of current
listserv/e-discussion list technologies:
Listserv Technologies Have Passed Their Prime
--And/Or--
Listserv Technologies Are Just Hitting Their Stride.
***PLEASE-Contribute to the Discussion __IN_ The Facebook Information
Groups (FIG) group-PLEASE***
[IF POSSIBLE]
The Facebook Information Groups group is intended to serve as a venue in
which interested and
concerned parties can discuss any and all issues relating to the use of
Facebook as a replacement for
current listservs and other electronic discussion list technologies.
