Networking

[dgswaim]

As we approach the end of the admissions season, I just wanted to note that I'm happy to FB with anyone that wants to keep in touch. A lot of my favorite Facebookers are folks that I've met through TGC over the years. Just PM me!

If anyone else wants to make themselves available for social networking stuff, make it known here!

Yeah, it's time to start doing the thing. I rarely post anything but minimally comprehensible philosophy jokes, so I'm an ideal Facebook friend.

I mostly complain a lot about students and post cat pictures. So yeah, please do.

I tend toward existing as non being on Facebook but I appreciate every opportunity to exist more actively.

What are the alternatives to FB these days?

I'm a big fan of MySpace, personally.

Tossing my hat into the message-me-for-FB-details ring... Though I'd be up for carrier pigeons once we figure out how to put the infastructure in place...

[MentalEngineer]

Google+, everyone! We can add each other to circles and have group video chats! It'll be great.

Where's everybody going?

Look into the Internet Engineering Task Force's RFC 1149, RFC 2549, and RFC 6214. IP over Avian Carrier (IPoAC) is now fully specified, IPv6 compliant, and includes instructions for maximal quality of service. We just need to get someone to build us the netcode on top of it. And the website on top of the netcode. And a functional IPoAC network.

I'm secretly hoping for a Google+ revival.

I had like three dozen early adopter friends on there! We had a blast for six whole weeks!

Guys, remember when MySpace let you pick a song for your page? Im pretty sure that I constantly switched between super emo and Dipset. Also, did anyone here ever use sconex? Also also, it would be great to keep in touch with everyone so all fb adds are very welcomed. As I have the same profile pic, everyone who already added me knows it. Those who haven't should.

I mostly just post about knitting or TV shows (on FB, I'm practically non-existant on G+), but I like internet philosophy friends, so I'll join the ranks of pm me for FB (or G+) details.

[thehegeldialectic]

I'd like to network with people as well, so feel free to PM me as well!
