CMM, CIFC launch new pages
At the Champaign Movie Makers meeting last Tuesday, January 17, director Thomas Nicol announced that on-line activities for the organization would be migrating from their Yahoo! Groups forum to a dedicated Ning network page, allowing for Facebook style commenting, discussion forums similar to traditional Bulletin Boards, and internal blogging a la MySpace. Members may contact anyone within the network and post notices about their own projects for some or all to see. If interested in joining CMM Ning, you should send a request to champaignmoviemakers [at] gmail [dot] com. The Yahoo! Group will be phased out within the next few weeks, added Nicol.
On the same day, outgoing Central Illinois Film Commission president Cameron Counts unveiled a Facebook Page for the Springfield group, which you can check out and “Like” right here.
