I am a South Jersey Friend and dad with a love out of outreach and a passion for looking afresh at Friends' testimonies, language and practices. I am the publisher of Quaker Quaker, a community site for Friends, and write about online publicity, organizing and design on my business site at MartinKelley.com.
QuakerQuaker on Facebook
Always a step behind Wess, I started a QuakerQuaker "Page" over on Facebook. Nothing there yet but it could be a place for readers to comment and for me to toss out ideas for future directions.
I've personally found that the organizing potential of Facebook isn't nearly as interesting as it seems at first blush. Groups are constantly created, joined in a mad rush, then left to decay a slow death of unanswered discussions. FB is a good place to chat with friends and there's a certain thrill of the ephemeral to learn that an acquaintance you haven't talked to in years is in Tuscon this weekend enjoying a spicy Thai chicken. But perhaps a Facebook Group (or "Page," as this technically is) will be a good forum for a somewhat established network.
