Comments on: A Facebook Communion? http://www.cartoonchurch.com/blog/2008/01/09/a-facebook-communion/ by Dave Walker Fri, 27 Jan 2012 07:58:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: webweaver.pttw http://www.cartoonchurch.com/blog/2008/01/09/a-facebook-communion/comment-page-1/#comment-228917 webweaver.pttw Sun, 13 Jan 2008 04:16:00 +0000 http://www.cartoonchurch.com/blog/2008/01/09/a-facebook-communion/#comment-228917 As a Anglican+Episcopal blogger (over on Blogspot) and the webweaver for <a href="http://www.pttw.org/" rel="nofollow">Peek Through The Window of the Episcopal Church</a>, I'd be very interested in a website that had info on bloggers from ALL over the Communion! I second the remarks made by "joe" above about the tag cloud and all, and also Richard's remarks about the walled garden that is Facebook. (I'm on three other social networks, but not Facebook, and I really don't want to have to bother with being on four social networks.)

Having said that, Facebook provides all the basic structure you need to run the group. The question really is, how many people would like to join the group, but won't because it's in Facebook. If that proves to be a significant number, then looking at hosting the group with something like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ning" rel="nofollow">Ning</a> might be an option.

I think that would give a really good indication of not only the current feelings of bloggers but also Other Issues that bloggers are talking about.
