A Call to Action

Alright, I'm in as one. I have been promoting and monitoring FB a good bit, so I have the cycles :)

There are 20 or so definite members here. Will everyone be willing to check or participate in Google groups, Twitter, Facebook and Evolver? I'm wondering what the best technology is based on our needs, and if we can use a single platform-- say Evolver has email reminders, and I suppose everyone checks their email.

Can each tool/platform be syncd so someone who ONLY uses email and ... Facebook, or email and Evolver doesn't miss something that was posted to Groups or Twitter? Some people don't FB much, and maybe we should explore what google groups can do for us that the Evolver site can't, if anything. What's your experience with G-Groups versus Evolver?

Hootsuite (side note) posts on Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare, so there's probably... sigh. done for the moment.

Aaron, will you be at the Coffee Tree Roasters before 7:30 ? i'll be gettin there pretty early

I'm looking forward to being in touch with Daniel.. supposed to reconnect our friend Blythe with him, as she's been busy-- with her kids, baking, relationships, community shepherding-- enough not to be able to keep attending the Goa festival they would hang at.

While having an Evolver PGH group on just about every major online platform is helpful especially in getting involvement and membership with our Spore to a tipping point, i think ultimately as much as possible should be done to make Evolver.net the main means. This is not to enforce an exclusivity or keep things from really rippling out-- nor am i trying to conform anyone to a Pinchbeck opinion about Fb 'cheapening communication'. It does, but no doubt Fb and other sites still can do things Evolver can't. Yet, all we need to keep people PGH Evolvers apprised of Evolver events.. is Evolver. It's kinda their issue if they want to be involved with the Spore without having an Evolver.net membership. Not that i find it important to have a site membership if one is seriously deepening involvement with the Spore, but if someone is going to be keeping up with events online one way or another.. why not shift one's activity here, to the enabling source? Having a membership here means checking your email is all you need to do to maintain par awareness. No doubt there's room for technical improvement and broadened function here-- e.g., only one picture upload? are you serious? i'm talking moment-sharing, not vanity-steeping ha-- but i'd much rather help the Evolver economics and see their few wholesome ads... than sacrifice most individuation and privacy to Fb's now app-less vortex of dishonest adver-tizing, madlib-molded around every 'like' and word one enters on it.

as above, so below;

strive to glow
