Things 10 and 11 reflecting on social networking mainly

I can see that it would be useful to have a mentor in life. But I'm not motivated enough to get one! Next!

Back  on more comfortable ground...social networking.  Here is where Facebook is really handy for communities.  For example, there's a group of volunteers who do conservation work on the hill opposite my house.  Their FB page shows how their work is improving the conservation and facilities on the hill.  I haven't seen a slowworm for decades, but there's a great photo of one found on the hill and now I can't wait to go and find one!  I like being able to share my own pictures and reflections.    Also Bridport has an active twitter community and I have been to one of their "tweet ups" at a cafe so I do recognise the people I'm following.

Not sure I like the terminlogy "lurk".  Are we all lurkers now..?  Discuss...
