Aside from the Quaker website that brought about this forum, what Quaker specific websites, blogs, or whatever, do you like and or visit daily, semi-regularly, that gives you, an insight, or uplifting encouragement as a Friend. Would you share links to your favorite Friends site, etc.
This may be in the wrong section, if it is, feel free to have it moved.

I like Quaker Jane’s site. Mainly, I like her George Fox quotes. Lately though, through her facebook site, I’ve found some of her links interesting too.

I favor Quaker blogging -- but instead of listing Quaker bloggers -- it would be 'easier' to name collections.
http://quaker.zebby.org/
and the [in]famous Quaker Quaker.

I'm begining to enjoy Facebook as a quaker site, however -- in general, facebook seems bad for the community -- people post without thinking.

I find this so true, from what I know about facebook it is intrusive and dangerous and a substitute for real life relationships. I have refused to join numerous times  . |

@Anthony -- yet, facebook has become... a primary way of communicating with my community "back home". Things like facebook feel like a gift when you move away from a community that is valuable to you.
I don't know whether the good or the harm is greater.

Like most tools, depends on how it is used.
Some, like Michael, use "social networking sites" like Facebook to keep in touch with remote communities or family. Some, like students, use them to engage a wider world they do not have time to engage directly. Some, as Anthony mentions, use Facebook as a substitute for face-to-face relationships. Some use it to compensate for lack of physical mobility. Others use it for self-promotion.
All tools are subject to misuse. My own experience in my shop has taught me that the more things a tool can be used for, the more likely it will be misused. The fault lies not in the tool, but in the user.

hah
i've heard it said that there's no excuse for a professional mechanic to own a pair of pliers.
the only exceptions i would offer would be hose clamp pliers and safetywire pliers
 
these are both so specialized that there is no substitutional "correct tool."
sorry for wandering. i do that |

Tehe, no problem, Kevin. I like the point you made about there being no correct tool.
I want to also say that I enjoy visiting and reading your Conservative Friend site for your meeting, it is very nice and well done.
