... In which Dan Kalikow (my RL name) (aka S.O.S. from MA in FDL and Sos von Ma in FaceBook) sez: "Why I've invited you here"...
 
I don't think that FaceBook (FB) is the right tool to use in growing our blog-based FDL community. Whaddayathink? In this discussion (which I hope you participate in), I'll begin with my reasons.
 
Here are my going-in thoughts about BBSes and FDL, which I've put at the beginning. (To reverse the on-screen order of the postings, click the little triangle to the right of Messages in the blue bar. See later postings by looking for the little numbers at the right atop the blue bar.)
    In /m26, TJ suggests that it would be useful to have a poll about possible interest by other 'Pups in these proposals. Great idea! Please try this 'PupPoll. (Before you can register your vote, you'll have to enter some distorted text, via a system called CAPCHA, to "prove you're a human and not a robot.") If you have any comments on your vote, please put them here. (Version of 20070618)

    I just sent this to Siun, FDL's Press Secretary (I found the email addy on the "contact us" page) ...
Subject: Discussion of possible extensions of the FDL blog

Hello Siun,

...and thru you to the other FDL Proprietors, Mods and behind-the-scenes techies (I.e., please redistribute this when you can),

I imagine that Jane must be very busy at the Take Back America conference, and that the other players of FDL must also be extra-busy these days.

So, with the greatest respect to you and to your current workload, I invite you and them to check out the Off-Topic part of my

http://www.firedoglake.com/2007/06/18/violations/#comment-767311

wherein I invite folx to a discussion of how FDL is moving towards adding non-blog tools to FDL. Personally, I think that FaceBook, while very well suited to social networking among people of different groups, is not optimal for FDL.

Someone -- name redacted -- suggested in

that I email you directly and ask for your participation, in your "copious free time." :) Here 'tiz.

I'd be very grateful for any consideration of these thoughts, either by email or online.

Thanks,

/Dan Kalikow, aka "S.O.S. from MA"
