Follow IC at Twitter, Facebook

Juan Cole 05/11/2010

Facebook keeps promising to lift the 5000-friend limit, but has not done it. So my account over there is more or less full. Just to let readers who are interested know that the Facebook Informed Comment fan page works nearly as well, and that I’ve been trying to spend some time there, making a few extra postings and comments.

Also, you can follow IC at Twitter.

Since social media is so important to what used to be called blogging, and some action has shifted to news upvote sites, I’m always grateful to readers who submit postings to Digg, Reddit, Stumbleupon, etc.

For the moment, since I have switched to WordPress, I have lost the capability of sending out the blog posts to a mailing list by email. There must be a free plugin that will do this work, but I haven’t found it yet. But I am hoping to do so.
