I find it blends into my day. If I had to log on to the site to communicate and that were the only means, I would probably not do that very often. <div><br></div><div>Though there are enjoyments with Facebook, mostly it feels like a "time-sucker." If Aquanet becomes a site based on that model without the emails to the list, I probably would visit infrequently at best and fade into the background quickly. That's news as I see it right now.<div><br></div><div>However, I LOVE the idea of commenting directly on the page of the gallery—that's a brilliant idea. It would be like a group of us all going to a gallery together and standing around chatting about the work.
