CSW group on Facebook

I've started a Facebook group for CSW. Already in just two days we have 23 people who have joined the group. I think that's great. In theory I thought the blog was a great idea. Now, in practice, I'm questioning that. It seems that no one visits it and I'm not motivated to write when no one is reading/responding. 

Lots of people check Facebook daily (or very regularly) so if they are members of CSW on Facebook they will be alerted of new content on our CSW group page.

We might even decide to move the blogging onto Facebook as it has a blogging feature. I see these avenues (blogging, Facebook) as experiments in creating a stronger CSW community and better means for communicating.

If you aren't a member of Facebook, consider joining. It's easy and there are lots of colleagues on the networking site. If you are on Facebook, please join the CSW group.

If you read this, please drop a quick comment and let us know that you've been here. Tell us what you think of blogging and Facebook. Are you interested in being a regular blogger? Part of the issue with the blog is that we need contributors willing to write regularly.
