Joe, I like Facebook but it has a decidedly different tone than the Yahoo! Zen Forum.
One of the nice things is it is more visually oriented. There are lots of graphics shared like the ones I share with you. One of the drawbacks is it doesn't seem to lend itself to really in-depth discussions like we often times have here, but it does support more than just a few lines like Twitter. I think Facebook is a GREAT SOCIAL network and way to stay in touch with your family and friends. It's especially nice for me since I live in Thailand and most of my family and friends live in the USA. But it is not the best place for dedicated, serious discussions. ...Bill! --- In [email protected], "Joe" <desert_woodworker@...> wrote: > > Bill! > > Well, what do you know? *I* "replied", too.
