Possibly moving group - PLEASE READ   Message List

Re: [productioncorner] Possibly moving group - PLEASE READ

I need to agree that moving the group to a LinkedIn format may not work as well. The strength of the dialogue is just that, a dialogue, a thread of discussion on some very important topics. LinkedIn seems more focused on resume building and linking. 

I suggest looking at the group discussion software PHPBB.com. This is a free (open source), discussion forum tool. Secure, easily managed for any size group, plus free of Yahoo's ads and RSS limitations.

LinkedIn is a great tool but considering that you have to be logged in and on the site to see questions people may pose means that we're going to lose a LOT of the back and forth this group is good for.

Hi Jeremy, Yes, they do and it frankly, just seems like a more valuable networking tool than Yahoo. It's just too easy to get lost in the noise here on Yahoo...
