I really have no idea where to begin. I am interested though in the ability
of Facebook to reach so many people in so many countries and that it spans
many socioeconomic thresholds as well as generational thresholds. Its been
astounding as I communicate with my children (all teens) my peers in over 30
countries and my friends (of whom many are my peers but not all)

I do believe that JL is turning over and shouting
"see I told you it works"

I joined Facebook last September, at the urgings of a friend, and I am
finding very satisfying. My Facebook social atom has rapidly grown and keeps
taking shape and depth, everyday. Even so, a rapidly expanding social atom
is a big role demand...!
I have found connections 35 years old, from when I was 7 years old, and last
week I even had some healing with a childhood friend, in the sharing (a
typed message, within Face Book) with her my story of being psychically
wounded with her, and I was only 9 years old.....she also had a catharsis,
and replied to tell me she had grieved to read my note. We have had some
exchanges in the last week now to integrate the matter more fully. Also, I
can imagine a powerful psychodrama I could enact, to heal the matter even
more deeply. This is a powerful result of sociometric re-activation,
offering unexpected opportunities for psychic repair and revision. So, yes,
Facebook has real possibilities for encounter, and networking in a way that
few people have ever been able to realize before. Facebook is a new social
networking frontier, and is becoming a worldwide standard. And Second Life
is a remarkable space also, with it's Avatar animation, and custom
environments. Look for psychodramatic experiments underway on GODOT Island,
hosted by Pasternak, and run by researcher Kim Flintoff in Perth Australia).

These formats, and their overwhelming popularity in various human societies,
challenge us to move our own creativity into new social arenas where
Moreno's ideas can also take root and flourish.
