Well, last week I mentioned a book club that’s being formed by my mate Thomas<\/a>.
\nDuring the week Thomas decided that rather than using Google Groups<\/a> to host the discussion\/forum Facebook<\/a> would be a better route. I’ve used both and don’t have a huge preference between one or the other. Of course in both groups I’ve been involved in, there hasn’t been super amounts of discussion either. I’ve got Thomas’ thoughts below – but what do you think? Do you prefer one over the other?<\/p>\n

Thanks to everyone who has shown an interesting in getting involved… especially JD over in Texas and Dan in Glenrothes for their encouragement and support!<\/p>\n

OK… so this is where we are going with this >><\/p>\n

1) I have set up an “invite-only” Facebook group > the admins (JD, Dan & myself) will invite people who have expressed an interest in being part of this journey. Facebook gives us the tools to do this >> invites \/ discussion posting etc >> and encourages community – you have to be a member of Facebook and your identity is known to the group (no nicknames etc). This will make us more honest and accountable >> key prerequisites for an egalitarian community.<\/p>\n

2) We are considering a number of books… but a couple of front runners are THE TIPPING POINT [Malcolm Gladwell] and\/or EVERYTHING MUST CHANGE [Brian D. McLaren]. We can run multiple discussions, if desired… this can be as linear or non-linear as we want it to be.<\/p>\n

3) One thing I am interesting in… as well… is meeting up with folks in Glasgow for f2f conversations. Ally & Jay have expressed an interest in this too. I would encourage you to look at this option in addition to online.<\/p>\n

4) Using Facebook will, I hope, allow us to get know each other a bit better. Hooking up and conducting one on one conversations is encouraged.<\/p>\n

I hope this makes sense… I don’t want to exclude folks not on Facebook… but the tool is the best one we have. If anything, you now have a legit reason for joining up.<\/p>\n

I you want to join up… leave a comment, drop me a note or hook up with me, Dan or JD on Facebook.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
