Re: [xmca] Re: [Mind Culture Activity] Andy Blunden changed the group description

Am I the last person in the world to be a Facebook refusenik? I have resisted joining because of privacy and control issues plus knowing that if I did it would take too much of my time.
I am on Twitter though. Maybe we could hold XMCA discussions there - 140 characters to explain the ZPD!

Hi,
 I recently made posts to facebook, I'd been discussing related topics on
xmca - but the threads had fizzled and an  opening appeared on Facebook
which I related. [I discovered more about Gendlin and both he and Vasilyuk
both value 'the peripheral' in very different ways examining
'experiencing}. I acquired very helpful URL links to read about Gendlin.
I began by commenting that Facebook could not be searched - and was aware
that this was a  temporal 'island'. However if the rare occurence happens
would it be worthwhile to say:'Let's transfer this over to xmca'? The
archiving and searching through the LCHC site is quite helpful - but XMCA
itself - I haven't figured out how to search well. As it works in e-mail
postings, I find I search my mailbox for recent topics if I find I want to
remember something that comes back to be 'important' again.

Facebook has potential for opening to people who do not know about xmca  ,
just through the topic of the group -through curiosity.  Perhaps this
article might be interesting to read to think about what Facebook might
'do' that  the listserve wouldn't?

There is no cause for alarm. The FaceBook page has been there since
November 2007 and posts have been few and far between other than the odd
announcement by me. A message only goes on the FaceBook page if you put it
there. There is no prospect whatever of xmca being replaced by a FaceBook
page.

Dear Andy,
My postings are short and infrequent but I they are addresses to XCMA
discussion board, not Facebook.

Thanks for allowing us to have a voice.

   Well Mike, you managed to make this comment simultaneously on
   FaceBook and xmca. Well done. That's a first. And as a result 2
   xmca-ers have just joined the FaceBook group.

   What you did is something someone can do if they choose to comment
   on FaceBook via email (which personally I don't) and send it to
   two destinations at the same time. Maybe Bruce could automate
   that, but I really don't see any value, in general, in duplicating
   the sometimes-intense discussions on xmca to a little FaceBook
   page, unless it is specifically about FaceBook,.

   But I too, would like to know what others think.

       Hi Andy-- I am a little confused about the facebook and email
       versions of
       xmca/mca. They are somewhat different media with different social
       affordances; sometimes more social stuff get done
       on xmca, sometimes important theoretical ideas are discussed
       in the
       ambience of facebook.

       No experience here. What would people like?
