Mystery Writer's Hangouts by Christine Duncan

Crimespace, one of my favorite mystery places to hang out on the net(when I have the time to hang out) is facing a bit of a change. Ning is going to start charging and Daniel Hatadi, the owner of crimespace is left trying to decide what to do.
Me too.
With the way the economy has changed things, I no longer have the time or the money to hang out at physical (real world) writer's groups. I tend to get all of my writing news, info and some of the camaraderie I used to get from a group from the net. And the net, as we all know is constantly changing.
Besides Crimespace, I belong to Murder Must Advertise which is a Yahoo email group. I get some info there about promo and such--a little glimpse at the business end of writing in this genre.
I belong to Dorothy L but tend to do a mass delete on busy days--and most days are busy anymore.
I catch a few friends on Facebook and Twitter but it's random.
So where do you get your mystery writing news and where can you hang out to catch your writer friends?
