I'm also a proponent of Ning.com. The advantage of an email list is that many of us still live in email. TIPS comes to us. With a social networking site, like Ning, one needs to go to that site. Although if you use an RSS feed reader, you can have Ning send you updates when something new appears.
If there's enough interest in trying out Ning to see if it's something that would work, I'd be happy to set it up. Just as a 'by the way' since we're discussing alternative modes of communication the Office of Teaching Resources in Psychology (OTRP, the resources wing of Div 2 - STP) has been discussing the value of creating a teaching of psych wiki where resources like videos, classroom demos and activities, assignments, student learning assessment tools, etc. could be stored. If you'd like to be part of the discussions around that, please drop me an email off-list (sfra...@highline.edu).
