I looked at my last post here at The Sociology Blog (see directly below). It mentioned my intent to grow the blog. The fact of the matter is that the Fall 2011 was nothing short of beastly for me.
What I've also realized is that not everything I do or like to do has to flow only through this blog space. I have many services I maintain, and most all of that Chad M.

Today a small group of folks pulled together our existing resources and took on the innovative task of tweeting and blogging a local civic engagement event. Using our laptops and cellphones, we live tweeted/blogged a local civic engagement event sponsored by AmericaSpeaks and the Public Life Foundation of Owensboro.
The event brought together nearly 300 locals to discuss local issues Chad M.

I'd recommend using groups for a close network of friends, family, or for a trusted network of colleagues or those with similar interests. There needs to be a dimension of trust and dependability of members to get use out of this function.
