D: All Things Digital and AllThingsD.com on Facebook

So we heard this twenty-something named Mark Zuckerberg had some really cool social-networking site that was getting kind of popular with the kids.

And you know how much Walt and I love to chase the youth demographic. Oh, we’ve got our iPhone cranked up to the max with Rihanna’s “Umbrella” and even went to see “Superbad” this weekend.

Of course, then, it was just a hop, skip and a jump to creating a D: All Things Digital group on Facebook, where we have an unusual amount of friends. That’s because the site has become a must-be-there in Silicon Valley of late for reasons having to do with 1) the billions of dollars in valuation for Facebook, and 2) because Silicon Valley is like an overgrown high school. Thus, we go where our readers are.

We’ll use the group to post news about the conference and Web site and post videos we all do, as well as photos. You can also interact there in discussion boards if you like. And if we see a widget we think will work well, we’ll add it.

You can join now at this link or go to Facebook and search for D: All Things Digital.

It’s especially hopeless for those whose work is easily digitized and accessed free of charge.
