When it comes to the multiplicity of internet sites and media that together
make up the at-times somewhat labyrinthine New Mobility Agenda, there is a
certain logic in our gameplan.  Here in summary how things look today in the
hope that it will help you make better use of the considerable potential of
these tools. in your work.
 
To support the various dedicated website and blogs, we also try to being in
social media. Twitter we nominally use but still have not found the hook.
Facebook has its uses but it is close to zero when it comes to context and
less than that for depth of coverage.  More,  one important job it does not
handle is to provide a searchable repository not only of messages but also
shared documents and threads of discussions. For that reason we try to make
sure that for each Facebook group, there is a parallel YahooGroups Forum
that is available to provide at least a workable approximation of  this
shared, searchable  database function.  
 
In all cases, the moderator ensures that the discussions rigorously keep to
the focus of the group in the knowledge that everyone is short on time.  In
several cases the original web sits have not been entirely kept up to date.
This is noted in each instance.
 
Here is how things stand on our principal projects  on this sunny late
October day in Lyon:
