The Digg social network is in trouble. Digg is a place where people can share what they find on the web with others. There is a rating system of sorts – based on people ‘digging’ a post/site, which when done so is considered ‘dugg’ by the one doing the ‘digging.’ It had and has the potential to be a very useful site. However, as anyone who keeps up with developments in social networking and the like knows, Digg is in trouble. It is dropping users, with less and less people using the site and tools associated with the site. Recently Digg got an overhaul which has done nothing to stop the slide.
There was once a newsletter with the top ‘dugg’ stories of the day, but that seems to have vanished. I found it to be a useful newsletter.
To find out what Digg is all about visit:
I have been using Digg a fair bit of late and have always considered it to be a very useful site and experience.
My profile is at:
There is also a web television show known as Diggnation. I have just watched the latest episode of the show and I confess to believing the show is rubbish. It is not worth watching in my opinion and comes complete with terrible language and crass content. If the quality of the show is how we should take Digg it is no wonder it is in trouble. It is hosted by two men, with one being the founder of Digg – which does nothing for the credentials of Digg.
I still hold out hope for Digg, as it can yet be a very useful and worthwhile site and service.

Reformed Particular Baptist Fellowship is a social network/community for Reformed/Particular Baptists that provides a wonderful opportunity for members to communicate, interact, contribute and fellowship with other Particular and Reformed Baptists from around the world. We also welcome other Reformed brethren to our community, but ask you to always remember that this is a ‘Baptistic’ group and it will therefore reflect the distinctives of such believers as expressed in the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith.
Visit and join the community at:
http://grou.ps/particularbaptist
One of the features of our community is the active forum/message boards. Though relatively young, the message boards/forum is providing a wonderful forum for discussing a wide range of topics, including books being read by members, prayer points, current relevant news/trends, theology, Bible studies, etc.

The ‘Reformed Particular Baptist Fellowship’ community (social network / group) is a Particular and Reformed Baptist Community, providing a wonderful opportunity for members to communicate, interact, contribute and fellowship with other Particular and Reformed Baptists from around the world. We also welcome other Reformed brethren to our community, but ask you to always remember that this is a ‘Baptistic’ group and it will therefore reflect the distinctives of such believers as expressed in the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith.
There are actually two sites in this community. This is our new and main site. The other site is at http://particularbaptist.ning.com/ (on the Ning Platform), where the community first begun. Eventually I hope to have the site completely contained here on the Grou.ps platform. Because Grou.ps allows very limited customisation of member profiles I have decided to keep the Ning site going for the time being, with the hope that members of the first site will move to Grou.ps when they are comfortable to do so (the Ning site will then be closed). Should members of the community choose to continue on both sites for the time being, it will be necessary to switch between sites, perhaps having two tabs open in your browser).
Please have a look around the site and familiarise yourself with all that is on offer. This platform is in ‘Beta’ development, meaning there is still some way to go before it is fully functional and all features are working in a stable manner (so please be patient).
I would encourage all members of the community to become actively involved and contribute regularly, thereby making our community all the stronger and vibrant.
Introducing Community Features:
At the top of the page is the directory menu if you like. These ‘buttons’ will take you to the main sections of the community and appear on most pages within the community (except at Ning of course). In brief, this is what you will find within the community at each of these locations:
My Page: This location is a members individual profile page, including such things as a comment wall and a record of your recent activity within the community.
Mems: This location shows all the members of the community.
Maps: This location allows for members of the community to plot their current location on a map, etc.
Calendar: This location allows community members to mark events on a calendar, pass on event details, etc.
Wiki: This location is the ‘Particular Baptist Systematic Theology Encyclopedia’ wiki, which works in in a similar fashion as Wikipedia.
Forum: This is a location to discuss various questions and topics raised by community members.
Blog: This is a Blog that is open to all community members to post on – sort of like an ‘open mic’ type approach to Blogging.
Files: This is a location for community members to share files with other community members, such as books, articles, slideshows, presentations, etc.
Links: This is a place for community members to share links they have found useful.
Photo: This is a place for community members to share photos with one another.
Video: This is a place for community members to share videos with one another.
Music: This is a place for community members to share music with one another.
Groups: This is a place for community members to set up there own groups within the community – you may have a Bible Study Group, a Church Group, etc.
Contact: This is a place to contact administration.
In short, I am very hopeful that this community location will be far superior to that of the previous. Please join and grow with us.
