I like list-serves better than any of the current social media websites. List-serves are inherently discursive and allow for more considered discussions that are nevertheless conversational in style. I believe they remain a novel means of communication and community creation.

Hi all, I remember when we began a Netbehaviour group on Ning in its early days, we were wondering (seems silly now) if it, or something similar would become a 'possible' replacement for this actual list. But for some reason, even though quite few did join the Netbehaviour Ning - it did not feel right, it just was not our own... I think, even though we may not have the money or corporate power that many of these social networking facilities, our community is much more important, whatever the medium we share - because, if it's our own and we can trust those who look after it to not sell-out, and we won't! Then that's not a bad place to be ;-) As James Wallbank from Access Space said on here a little while back - the email list is a 'killer app'. I agree. wishing all well. marc > > > This is seriously terrible, given the flexibility of Ning; SL Odyssey has > used it for years to good effect.
