Cordite seems to have all the tools on offer right here to discuss issues and comment on the site and exchange views or ideas. Facebook sites that do seem to work are stand alone sites for facebook only or sites where you can comment/discuss things that don't already have an outlet of there own. The cordite facebook site might be better used to direct people to sites featuring good poetry so you do wade through the immense amount of crap that you must on fb before you find something good.

If the user interface doesn't meet your needs, and more importantly requires people to look for you in two different places, you might be better off with forums or your own 'Ning' type spaces on your own site. I've always wondered what the attraction of Facebook could possibly be, especially as it won't let me have a look without subscribing. Ecccch. And I wonder if there are any probs getting oneself deleted, as there can be with TheirSpace, see here: http://sarsaparillablog.net/?p=623 It is probably the same kind of question musos who use MySpace ask themselves.
