Why not just have ddn activities in multiple places? There's no reason why this has to be an either-or discussion. In an ideal world, DDN would be via email, on Moodle, have a wiki, be on Facebook, Twitter, Friendfeed, YouTube, etc...In an ideal world, there would be money available to hire a full

Hello Tom, First of all I did not mention about TAX Deductible. Perhaps from another person?? I think we have to understand who are the readers of DDN, and what would be our 'dreams and expectations' and reaching out to whom. $100 to some is petty cash, but to many is food for a family for

Actually the discussion of Taran about social-networking HAS a lot to do with digital divide. Assuming you are in need of some critical information, but you do not know where to find them (I know these days one can just go Googleling for info or Wikipediaing), don't you think it is nice if
