Conversation Cafe social network

If you have ever been on Facebook or MySpace, you know how much fun social networking can be.  But did you know that it could also be educational as well?  The PTC is using social networking as a way not only to connect with old friends and make new ones, but also as a way to practice colloquial English and learn new idioms and phrases. Check it out (and join!) here.
