Probably a mistake for me to post at all, but I'm full of mistakes. You 
know what, if someone wants to set up a spot for nerd poetry, I think 
they should do so. If someone else wants to set up a different spot 
using different tech, I think they should do so too.

I think it's mistaken to think anyone needs to reach consensus on what 
the 'right' technology or spot for this is; and I also think it's 
mistaken to think that any one platform or technology is going to be 
thought to be the best by everyone involved, differnet people will 
always have different opinions.   I also think it's a mistake to get 
offended because what someone else feels like experimenting with setting 
up is not something you think is the best way to do it.

Most piece of code4lib 'social' tech, going back to this mailing list 
itself, was created by someone who felt like creating it because they 
thought it would be fun and rewarding, and they did so.

Now, if you want to discuss the technical pro's and con's of different 
technical options, or even some technical how-to's, I think that would 
be a great use of the code4lib listserv.
