Facebook . . . other "social" networking sites . . . ?

Yahoo groups . . .

Specialist academic Blogs and Lists (e.g. I have plugged my Devawriter 
on the Linguist List)

Mail-bombing (e.g. I have written to the head of about 50 Sanskrit 
departments)

YouTube (nothing like a quick movie of your thing strutting its funky stuff)

Twitter
