Why doesn't Evanston have more robust online social networks? Is it because we are too busy or do we just prefer email?

Well, I believe that in part the reason why we did not have a robust social networking structure for Evanston was mostly because there has been no solid infrastructure to support it. I hope that this new version ofr Evanston Online will change that. One great thing about social networks is that they actually become more functional the more they are subscribed to and used - so assist us in building out Evanston Online by inviting friends, neighbors and colleagues to join and make this as robust as possible.

I just saw this site, and it seems to have fizzled over the first part of 2009. I agree this needs to be promoted throughout our community. Do FACEBOOK and TWITTER have that a hold on social networking? Perhaps, but I think this could be a valuable tool for Evanston's retail community, at least. No postings in classifieds or business listings yet...let's go, folks!

Or is it that we are "social networked" out. I for one find it somewhat laborious to keep up with my Facebook stuff, and rarely have time for the Twitter, Plaxo, Linkedin accounts as well. Having said that I do feel that this is probably going to be the more effective in terms of networking for our business (www.evanstonphoto.com)
