The purpose of this is to find a better way to communicate virtually, rather than face-to-face

# data[].attributes.body
The team is continually bogged down with face-to-face meetings which are becoming a lag in the workday and inefficient. Therefore, a virtual place to meet would help everyone be more productive.

The medium of communication we use needs to be secure, private, easy to use, able to communicate at different times, and easily accessible.

Facebook, Skype, Meetup.com, Youtube, Friendsies.com, Twitter, Bigfriendo.com, LinkedIn, LiveJournal, and Second Life

Neither Friendsies nor Bigfriendo are encrypted and secured, therefore they are out. Second Life is not a candidate because it seems more of a game. Skype would be almost no different from face-to-face meetings since there is no place to post. LinkedIn does not have a common platform to make a group with. Twitter and Youtube also do not have a secure place to communicate privately. Meetup is more for meeting up as a group which we're trying to avoid.

Facebook and LiveJournal have the best platforms to communicate efficiently and not rely on a meeting time and the loss of productivity related. They both can create a private, secure, group that is moderated and posts can happen throughout the day.

Facebook
It meets all the criteria, but excels in ease of use, as well as control of the group's private nature and also has the ability to use Facebook to video chat if needed.

The group can be closed or secret, and can post questions and problems asking for solutions, schedules, other "housekeeping" items, and any other relevant topics they may need that they used to do in their face-to-face meetings.
