Thanks for the detailed response. I guess I'm going to have to play around with this a bit.

It's fractured. Some people email, some use other photo-sharing (eg shutterfly). Some people send dead trees via snail mail. Some have gone dark. Some are still on facebook, but since *I'm* not there I don't get the updates. Some people I was never really close enough (friends-of-friends, we've met a few times at parties, etc) to that we'd go to the effort of intentionally emailing each other with photos & updates, but the semi-promiscuous FOAF-level sharing on facebook was mutually interesting. I think a couple of geek friends have their own self-hosted photo albums, but I don't necessarily have an easy mechanism for seeing/discovering their new stuff. -Brian _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
