Ok so this is interesting in one way, but thinking of this like a business no in a profit context, but in a customer context. Is there really a demand for this service.
I say there is. *We* (as in hams) have total ownership of the current mailman list and BK does a fine job with maintaining it as Chris does with the amprnet portal.
Those of you that are anti Facebook ect maybe don't understand that groups like this exist in massive numbers in the social media sphere.
Me personally, I'm against UNsocial media period, and I won't touch it and to suggest for anyone to be forced to use it I find quite offensive in nature.
Examples:
Ham Radio Operators 19,833 members 100watts and a wire FB group 8,105 Amateur Radio QRP 9,105 Amateur Radio UK 5,900 Amateur Radio 18,130 Fox Tango 3,487
When you view those numbers and compare them to the number of licensed hams world wide, I think you'll find that to be an extremely small number.
My point/though is this idea just inventing a really great buggy whip while everyone is driving cars?
What we have now I find to be a smooth sailing as taking a sunday drive in a Bentley where-as having to use a browser and a dis-service such as DeFacebook with any browser loaded with what I consider as bloatware (and most quite insecure) equal to driving through Manhattan NY during traffic hour in a VW Beetle with 8 people inside.
Devils advocate
Thanks for that. Ever google: facebook law suits ?? This NOT a company I support.
... just my $0.02 back at ya :)
