Hiya,

Just my tuppence...

I like having this separate from my LinkedIn activity, which I agree is oversubscribed and attracts lots of people just trying to sell to you, rather than mutually sharing information. But I would definitely welcome the ability to view comments in a single threaded forum, rather than having to click through a long list of email responses individually when you've been away from your computer/device for a while and a conversation has been building up, as that can be very off-putting - although having to go online to access the conversation, especially if you're reading on a mobile device (often be the best time to catch-up), isn't ideal either.  However, having only been on a here for a couple of years, I'm a relatively newby, so I'm more than happy to go with the flow.

Whichever route you choose, I'm sure I'll come along for the ride. 

Best,
Janet

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.
