Y...I've had a similar experience with Facebook.<br />You might want to set up a "fan" page for your organization and then try to link up with other green-oriented groups. I recently set up such a Facebook page for "EnviroPolitics" and am sending blog posts there. Too early to say whether it will get any traction but it's easy to set up so you might want to try it.<br /><br />I agree with your comments on the double-edged nature of the Internet. Fascinating to watch how quickly social media also has developed and where it's already taken us.Frank Brillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17285491719186925507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3191316279215320372.post-20777393421513742162009-08-10T15:09:42.150-04:002009-08-10T15:09:42.150-04:00My story is similar to yours although I don't ...My story is similar to yours although I don't "Tweet." I blog (http://delawareriverjournal-rivergeek.blogspot.com/) and am on Facebook and am dependent upon email (and fond of it as a communications tool). I don't think anyone knows where all this is headed and how it will impact human health and families. But I see that the technology is a double-edged sword. <br /><br />I try to use Facebook for reasonably useful purposes, but that seems out of character compared to what others are offering - truly trivial details of their daily lives.<br /><br />The technology is wonderful for communication and obtaining info but that doesn't help the hopelessly gullible among us, or people who aren't intellectually curious, or articulate enough to express more than a sliver of thought at one sitting.<br /><br />Witness the hordes of right wing goons packing town halls to exercise their 1st amendment rights, except they won't allow anyone else to be heard. They are witless victims of disinformation, filled with rage and hate for the "other." On the other end of the spectrum, witness the hordes of youths who through texting and Twitter all showed up to riot on South Street a few months ago. Or the Green Revolution in Iran. The Ugly, the Bad and the Good. And it is evolving and morphing every single minute, which in this day and age is a long time.riverhealerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17597784785211322335noreply@blogger.com
