new address

I set up a dedicated BRING gmail address (BRINGrecycling@gmail.com) to have a semiofficial address, as well as set up a resource for eventual BRINGfest planners who might not be me. The other motivation was to start a facebook profile for BRING Recycling, where I've posted some photos of the May BRINGfest, and already friended BRING volunteers with facebook profiles. As a recent facebook convert, I've noticed the excellent venue it provides for contemporary communication, and I hope it might prove beneficial to BRING's continued success.

Currently, BRING's (unofficial) facebook presence has the look of an individual profile, and not the group page format like the Humane Society, nor the nonprofit company page like NPR. I'm sure the nonprofit format is the best set-up, but it's probably for the best that I haven't quite figured out how to do that. Perhaps the profile I've started will morph into a BRING volunteering profile or disappear totally in the wake of our impending official facebook presence.

In my social networking explorations, I noticed that BRING recycling is on myspace, so I'm not the only BRINGer who feels the social networking wave is one worth riding....
