[Chapter-delegates] facebook

[Franck Martin]

Or should ISOC use its own tools rather than to rely on someone else. It 
would ensure that the data is still here in 2 years when some new social 
network will be in and facebook will be out as it took over myspace in 
less than 2 years.

Oh and what about secondlife?

but yes, I'm for a presence on all this social networks, but may be not 
an official or structured one.

Cheers
