But alas, they are not as slick and as much a "social media", so TC is destined to slowly sink into a snow white slumber. Hopefully not....perhaps we should start a Tiki Central Facebook page...and people can just post a link to the topic of their choice in the status so people get a "headline" of sorts...I don't know, I'd hate to see TC go by the way of the do-do bird because of advancing technology....Pretty much my entire network of friends these days I met because of TC.
