Vermont Media on Facebook

I wrote a story this week about how college students are using Facebook — specifically, I profiled a delightful Jordanian junior at Middlebury who is voluntarily providing info and advice to incoming freshman.

I've spent a lot of time this week on Facebook as a result. I have to admit, I'm finding it both useful and fascinating. I'm surprised that more Vermont media folks aren't on there.

So I was excited just now when I got a friend request from Ethan DezoteIle, the editor of the County Courier. It got me thinking that we ought to have a Vermont media group on Facebook.

So I made one. It's called Vermont Media. Here's the description:

"For Vermont media professionals and others interested in sharing thoughts about the internet, social media and the state of local journalism."
