I know that Hal (and some others on this thread) aren't big fans of Facebook, but I'd really like to make the weekends GEEKEND on TechRepublic's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/TechRepublic

Ok, so right now, other people's comments only appear in a little box called "Recent Posts by Others on TechRepublic." But what if I started a Friday Night Music thread on Friday nights there? Would you come and participate?

As for birthday shout outs, I still try to include those in the TR Community Scoreboard. If you search for "Community," those should come up right away - in case you've been having a hard time finding them.

Any other ideas? I'm all ears over here...
