I’m minding my own business and in pops the e-mail pitch from Disney Cruise Line. I went on a Disney Cruise last year, so the cruise line knows where to find me electronically.

Anyway, this e-mail caught my attention, given the fact that social networking and community is all the rage.

So, Disney Cruise Line is doing it the old-fashioned way — organizing house parties. Sort of like an Obama local-campaign gathering during presidential primary season. (I have no idea if Gordon Brown organized the same type of pre-election confabs.)
