Here's a link to the Port St. Lucie group page:

Bear in mind that it is new, so it doesn't have a lot of content yet.

Actually, Facebook can be better than that; we could have our own
group.
One of our society members set up a restricted Facebook group for us.
You
can't join it unless an admin okays you. He made me an admin, and I
get
reminders when a member wants to sign up for the group. From what I
know
so far, you can assign anyone to be an admin.
Then you have your own board, where anyone who is in the group can
start
or participate in threads, post pictures, etc. And no spam. You don't
have
to do all the junk that is available on Facebook (*what kind of animal
are
you?*; *so and so wants to add your birthday to his calendar*, etc.).
We
could use it purely as a message/binaries posting center. It's not the
wild west that Usenet is, but we can allow others to join.
I'm new to it, and I'm not familiar with how to set up a restricted
group.
But hey, how hard can it be?

We all sign up on facebook and join the growing orchid community
there.
The mystery group I read has a growing group of mystery fans there
too. I
have no idea how well this works, but am tempted. I worry about the
timesuck factor.

Thanks, guys. Chris, I know about Flickr. It does seem a bit limited
as
far
as discussion is concerned. There is always the Facebook option,
too.
