We have a chat...and I'm alone in there.

I suppose I will get in trouble for this but...I cannot tell you how much trouble facebook causes my clients. Good uses , yes. But drama too. I'm in the boat with Leafmite. I may PM you but that's it.

Family law attorneys have a love/hate relationship with Facebook.

Ha ha. I do not do Facebook. I don't want my kids to think I am stalking them.

And I don't want to be stalked.

I hate to say this, but if the chat room is as balky as the website, it's going to be a slow conversation!

Oh! Good one! If you get lonely, just PM me.

I tried to revive the Chat a year or two ago but random visits didn't work. If people are interested, a specific time should be worked out, perhaps based on subject.

I haven't tried since the board load time issues occurred. Maybe we should organize a test to see if chat runs independent from the board issue and what might be the capacity.

I know about the 'oversharing' issue of young people at this age and I prefer them to tell me what they want me to know (which they do). When they ask me to be on Facebook, I will join.

Facebook started out as a college kid social media, now it's really more mainstream and the kids have other places.

I wouldn't do Facebook anyway but kids do work around all these issues wisely.

Years (oi...I'm dating myself ) ago, we used to coordinate times to chat about the project plants; it worked very well because many of us were in far-flung places, and it gave 20-30 people a chance to have a salon on whatever the proposed project plant was...or to compare culture notes/ideas/sources in real time. I'd wager 2010 was about the last time that we did that...

It would be fun to coordinate a chat.
