Hi Sam,

Happy New Year to you and everyone on Chinwag.  Good question to ask the
community.  My "dos centavos" :-

I have also been a member for a few years and really feel a part of a
special community at Chinwag.  Its a cozy and familiar atmosphere and I feel
confident that whether I am requesting help or providing solutions,  the
people I am interacting with are truly passionate and knowledgeable about
their subject areas and always pull out the stops to interact and help.

The problem with Linked-in is that:-
* The conversations are different to the ones that we have on Chinwag (not
as meaningful or helpful)
* There are some unscrupulous people that use Linked-in purely for
self-promotion
* You won't be able to moderate it and could potentially take a lot more
time to administrate it
* Won't own the database
* Get people from literally all over the world (yes I know I'm not in the UK
­ but I am totally British!).
I am a member of countless groups onLinked-in that I have joined because I
feel I need to keep in touch with what is going on rather than having any
real desire, or indeed time to contribute to. I literally scan and usually
delete very quickly or worse totally ignore the emails coming in.  Its
volume rather than value.

I have interacted/ contributed to Chinwag more than any other group in my
last 6 years in Digital.

Please don't change  Š "I love you just the way you are"!

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.
