I was in Faces myself, but never found it was useful to generate new thinking, it was most linking and socializing among women who knew each other. But it was not a great collaborative place... I think Marc's Furtherfield, Post.Thing, -empyre are this list are for me the places where I find myself most intellectual nutrition. Faces was (is?) most a linking to people's projects but not a discussion place. I am still waiting for a net Bauhaus, a net The Factory...
