Happy Holidays!!! and a few things...

Folks, 
新年快樂!!

We didn't post much in our blog recently and I haven't sent out an updated directory for a while becasue
1. I have been busy
2. Most people are using personal email address so  we are fairly stable now in terms of email communication links.
A new directory should go out to you shortly.

We now have 50 classmates in our facebook ntuee-80 group - we have the critical mass.   I think it is time we switch and use the new technology as our main communication channel.   Blogs aren't designed for social purposes the way we are using it.   It is difficult for everyone to contribute/share/post/upload pictures and worse, it requires the blog owner's time to do maintanence.   In contrast, our facebook ntuee-80 group is a closed group, meaning you have to apply/be invited to join and non-members cannot see our communications.   So it provides certain level of privacy (hence Hanna can stop complaining to me :-)   My plan is as follows:

- We should use ntuee-80 facebook group as our main communication channel from now on.   People have facebook account but haven't joined, please send request to join.   If you don't have a facebook account, maybe it is time to have one.    If you don't check your facebook often, we strongly suggest you to join the crowd and do it frequently.
*Note for people in China having problem accessing facebook: there are ways to use facebook even in China.   Please ask around or send questions by responding to this article.

- We will keep the ntuee80 blog open and alive, but use it sparingly.    Lost classmates may find home thur it, and outside world may use it to contact us if needed.

Now below is the list of people in our facebook ntuee-80 group.  If you are not in it, please send request.  If a classmate is your facebook friend but not in it, please add him/her.   We should expect ~100 classmates eventually join.   If we ever get to close to 100% coverage, then we don't need to use ntuee email list much any more.
