This is a great expression of why I think we should consider something more versatile than the Google Group.
I know this was shot down once before, but having "sub-forums" will allow for more focused discussions to emerge without people needing to wonder or worry about who's listening - or not interested - in their idea/inquiry/post. I really don't think a "social network" is the solution to this, since they become TOO fragmented. But some light construct for things like job/business opportunities, industry-specific questions, coworking newbs, coworking vets, marketing questions, space questions, etc...could each have their own sub-forum. This would also allow the "general forum" to be more of a casual meeting place for all of us rather than a place with several dozen new threads every week, many repeating. I'd be willing to go back to Zoho again since they were interested in providing the service free to us as a "community" or Open Source Software style project. The only cost would be in moving the existing coworking google groups' contents into it. Unless someone gives me a specific reason NOT to, I'm going to pursue it again and report back. -Alex /ah indyhall.org coworking in philadelphia On Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 1:39 PM, Blair Gordon <[email protected]>wrote: > i like this idea of collaboration, after all its what we are all about. > Maybe a website, a social network of sorts for co-working and > collaboration.
