As long as that doesn't mean disadvantages for those who choose to stay away
from Facebook etc. due to privacy concerns or other reasons. I've seen
organisations move pretty much all their public relations work to Facebook,
which is admittedly an easy trap to fall into -- but I'd much rather not be
forced to join Facebook just to keep track of what is going on with LPI. So
far, www.lpi.org is accessible to everybody on the Web and it should remain
the prime medium that LPI uses to communicate with its members, instead of
making everybody who happens not to be on Facebook a second-class citizen.

Anselm:
I couldn't agree more. Don't worry--www.lpi.org will remain our prime
communications tool for the reasons you aptly describe.
In my own opinion social networking tools should be used as an "add-on"
to institutional websites--not instead of.
Thanks!
