A week or so ago, I saw some discussion here about using Google services in a nonprofit. I am wondering if the biggest hurdle in a situation like that is in getting folks to sign up for Google accounts, especially in nonprofits involving elderly or non-technically inclined folks. In one nonprofit I was in several years ago, the professional staffer but a giant VETO on my suggestion that something happen in Google. To her, telling folks to sign up for Google was like making them switch cable companies. Granted, this was before the invention, let alone popularity, of Android. In another more recent event, a bunch of technically inclined men seemed to prefer Yahoo over Google, much to my surprise.
Just wondering to what extent people have run into this hurdle when striding out into the non-tech world? -- Greg M. Johnson http://pterandon.blogspot.com
