Ghost of Midnight

Vermonters have many choices…

#VT – Lots of great discussion of various online tools today at the e-Vermont workshop in Randolph.  I was blown away by first-hand accounts of  Moretown citizens responding to Hurricane Irene, as well as the folks of Westford self-organizing a food shelf to help neighbors in need.

Vermonters have so many digital media tools in the toolbox from which to choose.  That said, I’m partial to our Front Porch Forum for many applications.  Apparently Doris in Argyle, NY feels the same way (from her current posting)…

Thanks to everyone who posted or emailed info about the Pleasant Valley public hearings, which my husband will attend tonight.  I was pleased to see that Front Porch Forum published the info in a timely manner.

It  occurs to me that one week of following FPF has given me more positive information and ideas than several years of trying to negotiate Facebook.  With Facebook I have struggled to figure out who is seeing what information and I have not gleaned much of anything from a world of “friends” except for gossip and a lot of negative interaction.  So, goodbye Facebook, and hello Front Porch Forum!

And I’d be remiss if I didn’t share this bit about Twitter… just in fun, of course…

Update:  And from Carrie in Argyle…

Doris, I agree…been thinking the same thing about getting rid of facebook. I love that the FPF news I hear is local!!! I feel so much more connected.
