Philosophy joins social networking

Social networking websites such as Myspace.com and Facebook are nothing new to many students in this recent generation.  Philosophy Talk – a radio tak show hosted by two Standford professors has long had its presence on the web, but now you can even join that conversation right on facebook!

Presuming you’re not already a member of the facebook community, you’ll have to sign up to become a member (which is free) and then subscribe to Philosophy Talk.  It’s a snap! 

And if you need a motivation, you can find me there as well.  How’s that for staying connected with your liaison!
