  • Bnetters Against Activity Feed!
    Name:
    Bnetters Against Activity Feed!
    Status: Member
    Description: Bnetters Against Activity Feed! is an ecumenical, cross-platform, "SINGLE ISSUE VOTER" kind of group!! The intrusive Activity Feed should either be removed altogether or an ability to OPT OUT should be provided. I like my Bnet Buds otherwise we wouldn’t be friends, but does this mean I want a “shout out” every time I rate a photo, post a comment on someone's profile, change my own profile, write a journal entry or make a new friend? NOOOOO! Let's join hands to register our dissatisfaction with this intrusion by visiting the PETITION thread! We’re not Facebook, MySpace or Linked In! We’re Beliefnet! :) As members of Bnetters Against Activity Feed! you have an opportunity to register your discontent with this alleged “enhancement” initiated by Beliefnet in June of 2008. Despite assurances from staff that they're "looking into" methods to either disable this feature or make it optional, nearly 4 months later nothing has been done. At first glance, this is a very small problem. Yet when you place these Activity feeds in the larger context of online privacy, FISA and how the accessibility of online information plays into counter-terrorism meaures, perhaps this problem isn't as small or unimportant as first meets the eye! Bnet Administration modeled the activity feed after Face Book. Are you aware that Facebook members protested against this to the point that Face Book woke up and made it optional? http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1532225,00.html

  • Interfaith Perspectives
    Name:
    Interfaith Perspectives
    Status: Member
    Description: This is an interfaith group who's members are from different spiritual paths and who share their perspectives on various religious topics. Proselytizers need not apply (our first rule) -- there is a difference between sharing your faith's perspective and trying to convince another participant to switch to your faith. At the same time, the emphasis is on discussing what you do believe and / or practice, not on what you don't believe, as we are not a debate group (we are not into wrong making, and this is our second rule.) Our third rule is to share page space in the discussion threads, to allow others to participate, the same way it is done with in-person group discussions.
  • Self-care for Caregivers
    Name:
    Self-care for Caregivers
    Status: Member
    Description: While the intention is to primarily share among professional caregivers, (nurses, aides, chaplains and other clergy, social workers, volunteers, doctors, and others), family caregivers are certainly welcome as well. We support each other in avoiding burnout and "compassion fatigue" by sharing stories and feelings about our caregiving experiences, and ways we have found to promote healing self-care. First-timers may want to check out the "Compassion Fatigue material" in the thread by that name below.
