Why doesn't Release 2.0 have any kind of online presence?
I'd settle for a mailing list but something like a Facebook or LinkedIn group would also work.
I’m frustrated

What about the Radar blog? We think of that as the online side of Radar, or rather, that Release 2.0 is a print publication aligned with the radar blog. It says something about the change in internet audiences that a blog is no longer considered an "online presence" and that a Facebook or LinkedIn group is preferred. Worth thinking about! We'll definitely think about whether Facebook makes sense.
Meanwhile, do see http://radar.oreilly.com, including the subdirectory http://radar.oreilly.com/r2
I’m undecided what to do about this question, but will think about it.

Inappropriate?Your reply was helpful but insufficient. I may have been unclear in my initial post so I'll try to be more precise.
The people who write Release2.0 and Radar have channels for communicating amongst themselves and with their audience. However there are no mechanisms for the Release2.0 readership to publicly provide feedback or to talk amongst ourselves about specific articles. I suppose what I'm looking for is a modern day equivalent of the letters page.
Without such a mechanism I'm reduced to reading the newsletter in a vacuum since I can't see if anyone else reads it or what they think about it. I suppose that in California one might bump into fellow readers all over the place but I could conceivably be the only reader in a web2.0 backwater like London.

Inappropriate?Got it. We'll definitely look into creating a Facebook group.

Inappropriate?ade, what would you like to see in a Release 2.0 Facebook or LinkedIn group? -
Inappropriate?I'd like to be able to participate in discussions around particular articles or topics. I would like to be able to find other readers in my company or city. I'd like to be able to arrange or attend events aimed specifically at the Release2.0 demographic. I'd also like to be able to receive recommendations based on my membership of this group.
In short I'd like access to the collective intelligence of the readers as well as the writers.
