Honestly, I see mailing lists as a dying breed (said as I post this to a
mailing list). A forum tends to work out better. It's a pull (users
pull content only if they want to receive the content) rather than a
push (users are pushed content - if they are subscribed - whether they
want to or not).
yet pull is a problem. Its great if you are searching for something.
However, If I am need to monitor a topic then I don't want to have to
remember to login to the forum constantly. If I don't I miss out.
Some forums will allow you an RSS feed but many don't. Some will send
you an email of the Highlights, but that misses a lot of side topics
that might have interesting tidbits.
I already live in my email, its easier to spot it there as I'm doing
real work.
Yesterday's Gmail fiasco was the perfect example. I already knew what
tell customers when they called up wondering why their email to a VIP
customer bounced back.
Maybe its a generational issue. I don't hang out on
Facebook/Instagram/Twitter like my kids do. If so, I *may* have seen the
Gmail issue discussed there early enough, but only if I constantly
monitor the right threads.
