Unless email is integrated, people miss announcements. As much as people like to complain about email overload, it's 10000000x more effective than anything else.
If it's just one-way announcements, use an email marketing tool like Mailchimp or CampaignMonitor. For discussion lists, a private google group is handy (and free!) EXCEPT that people can easily remove themselves and you won't know about it. I've looked at just about every private email list tool out there and am pretty sure will be building our own this fall. If anyone is interested in contributing to building this tool (I've got a spec written already), drop me a line off-list. -Alex -- /ah indyhall.org coworking in philadelphia On Monday, August 20, 2012 at 11:57 AM, Tom Hudzina wrote: > Hey gang, might I ask what are you all are using for community message > boards?
