uk-netmarketing Archive (2011-2015)

Hi Sam.



I love being able to sort email lists by conversation in my mail client
(Gmail for business and outlook primarily),  I read them because they are
setup as favourite folders in my email and therefore always visible and
easy to respond to.  I get them on the pad and bb too.



If you can achieve that and broaden the readership /  contributions by
attracting people to the group via LinkedIn then that would be a bonus.
I notice that there is less UKNM post traffic of late,  I guess because
people spend that time on twitter (and maybe a little bit of LI /
Facebook)  for work.



If you cannot interact with the forum / conversation in the same way
(threaded email / conversation)  then It would go the way of my many LI
groups for me,   which I rarely look at.



Maybe you can do that with LI forum posts and I have not bothered to look
at it though.



I do know that the LI developer API https://developer.linkedin.com/ allows
you to use single sign on via the UKNM site,  and interact with a users
account / profile.    Users could become members of the UKNM site /  list
using LI credentials and you could display their public profile info,   and
continue to use the existing email broadcast.



Incidentally Basecamp has a really nice forum / email feature that allows
you to view the threaded forum online,  but also respond directly to the
email into the forum via your email client,  in threaded conversations.
Not suggesting it is the correct tool,  just that I like that
functionality.



2p.

*Subject:* [uk-netmarketing] What do we think of Linkedin groups? Should
UKNM move?



Morning all...



I ponder this from time-to-time, but I was wondering what everyone's
thoughts are on Linkedin groups? Is it worth moving uk-netmarketing and the
other lists over to Linkedin as I'm guessing pretty much everyone is signed
up?



Are they Good? Bad? Useful? Spam? Ignored?



My tuppence is that they can be useful, but I'm signed up to quite a few.
The API now allows better integration and retrieval of the content so it
seems like it might be a good solution. Or do you have another superb
solution?



I'd really love your opinions on this one. Thanks in advance.
