Thanks, that's a good one! I should have used more terms.

three weeks pass...

there was a piece on echonyc today on *adjusts voice* npr science friday with ira plato, talking to stacy horn who founded the thing as well as an author plugging her book on women shaping the internet, was a pretty good listen (the link below has some info, guessing you can listen to the ep on itunes/spotify or the homepage or something)

Hello everyone - my name is Christian and I'm the co-General Manager of The WELL. Ilxor showed up in our referral logs the other day, so I thought I'd come by and say hi.

The WELL is still kicking, as mentioned earlier, and I'm always looking for new people to join and become part of the community! In the other thread, someone mentioned that it seemed similar to ilxor, and I think that's true - like you guys, we've been around forever and have a small-but-active community and a wide range of discussion topics.

I'd be happy to answer any questions about The WELL, and if there's interest I can definitely set anyone up with an account that's free for a few months so you can look around and get to know us a little.

Thanks!
