Not surprisingly, when I surveyed try female co-workers, I discovered that 100!% of them knew about this site - and about half visited it regularly. The link to Facebook might be part of the reason; however, not a single one of my co- workers will 'friend' me on facebook. That is a good thing as I don't want to intrude into their personal lives and I certainly don't want to subject them to my Facebook posts as well!
