[AsburyPark] Re: Knowing each other
Thanks Jennifer! I tried to dislike Facebook because I wanted to unteather myself from the myriad of websites that take up way too much of my time, but it didn't work out, so I decided to embrace it. That being said, I recently created another Facebook group, Help the World - Christmas 2008 Here's a link: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=42031067015 The purpose of the group is to encourage people to make a donation to a charitable organization in the name of a friend or family member, instead of buying them a present. I was inspired to create the group after hearing a story on NPR about an elderly women in Zimbabwe, who's only source of food came from picking bits of undigested corn from cow dung. Can you imagine that? --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, Jennifer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, Jack Pitzer hinge98@ wrote: Perhaps a Facebook group could help? Hi Jack, I like Facebook a lot. It helps me stay in touch with a lot of people and its gotten me back in touch with even more. I now know more about people I went to High School with than I did even in HS. I don't know if the groups ever become very active for discussions. I see your Greetings from Asbury Park group has a lot of members now (including Nils Lofgren and Roy Bittan). I think the larger point is that the anonymity that you can allow in Yahoo groups breeds behaviors that you don't see with people who know one another. How about we set a regular date for group members to socialize in person? We could do it in a local place, meet for drinks say once a month and get to know each other. I find email to be the worst form of communication ever made. It's way too easy to hear a tone in the writer's voice that is not as it was intended. I moderate two groups for work and I see a lot more listening and weighing of opposing opinions when my group members know and respect one another than when they are new and feeling anonymous.
