Fascinated to see that you are covering some of the same ground as I do in my blog Becoming A Writer Seriously. I also just installed GTCinbox and joined Facebook within the past two weeks, and the early romance with these facilities continues. I found your post about Facebook & LinkedIn insightful, prodding me to look more deeply into them. Sure wish I could attend yr workshop, but I'm way too far away. Will start following yr blog instead. Discovered your blog via Google. Fascinated to see that you are covering some of the same ground as I do in my blog Becoming A Writer Seriously.

I do find that the quality and depth of answers is a big difference between facebook and LinkedIn, with LinkedIn providing a greater depth of answers. Terrific post.
