I like to share my collecting bug with others if I think they have the tolerance listen to me, so I get the desire. That said, I have some misgivings about Facebook being a good medium for this but perhaps you have a plan for how to deal with the inherent limitations imposed by the Facebook layout. (I'm not even going to get into the data collection privacy issues since I figure people using it either don't care or don't know enough to care.) The nice thing about sites like Ooga Mooga and Tiki Central is that they are designed to be relatively easy to search and navigate. Facebook by design is focused on the RIGHT NOW and while they keep everything ever posted (oops, maybe I will stray into that territory a little) it's difficult for users to go back through it in any meaningful way and they have no choice at all in deleting or modifying content. I find it to be a terrible interface. That's me. Lots of people use it but then lots of people used and were happy with their gawdawful smart phones until Apple came out with the iPhone. My dos centavos. I don't expect to change anyone's mind really, but there you have it. fm
