I say SUCCESS. I actually received some really great feedback and had some very interesting discussions with a few FB friends. It got pretty real towards the end.
My topic of love poetry and its effects on love is pretty universal because everyone has an opinion of love. I had to informalize my thesis to appeal to the internet world and it worked well enough. Here is what I posted:
I think that I could have made it less academic feeling, but I'm satisfied with the responses I got. The more specific questions led the discussion in the right direction and after someone would comment, I would respond with more questions to keep it fueled. I was able to see certain faults of my thesis. For example, the use of the phrase "sophisticated mind" vs. "more mature/experienced." The first definitely came off too snobby and someone else's comment helped me realize that. The entire post ended up with 1268 words in 15 comments.
