[AT] [Bulk] Re: Opinion/ Facebook

[Thomas O Mehrkam]

Our neighborhood started out with a listserver.

Later some of the neighbors decided that a facebook page would be great.

No 1/2 or the neighborhood use the listserver and the other half use 
facebook.  If you want to send a message that reaches every one you have 
to do twice the work.
Personalty I look the email messages every day.  Facebook maybe once a 
month. It would be a lot more effective just to have the list-server.  
Yahoo message boards allow small attachments and you can attach small 
photos.  At that point there is little need for facebook

Just my 10 cents

There are just too many people who would refuse to go to Facebook. Unfortunately many of the same people also refuse to use the forum. Until then I think the mailing list continues to be the only answer; with the forum rounding out our abilities to provide pictures.

If I restrict the size to something smaller, folks would have to be experts in resizing before sending.  Not sure everyone is up to that nor I'm I comfortable with everyone's ISPs and mail accounts handling that.
