It might seem as if you're talking to yourself but if you post them, they will come :)

Anyone need ideas for new topics?  Post here and we'll do some brainstorming!

sometimes if I can't think of any questions or topics that I need answers to or want to discuss, I just start a poll with a question that is related to the group.

For example, today in my cooking group I asked what is your favorite flavor ice cream. I think most people like polls because you kind of get to know one another better through their answers, and they can spark other conversations

I love the Poll idea!

polling now!... thanks jbl04d!

I just added!

Polls are a great idea!  Or, you can ask a question that you've always wondered about, for example - in the cooking group you could ask, "what are some great ways to slim down baked recipes" and then people can chime in with how they do it (use splenda instead of sugar, etc.).
