<p>Time for another review of how HT works for you each.<br>
<br>
A long discussion always leads to people dropping off, many of
whom forget this defeats the purpose of having more people to
help, at the cost of a few uninteresting emails. We tried FB and
Linkedin a while back, while little interest, given how time goes
it could be 10 years.<br>
We also get few additional members so there are clearly not much
PR happening.</p>
<p>What you may not know, here is a summary of members.<br>
Invalid: 2429 (means email addresses that bounced)<br>
No mail: 501 (members who dropped off)<br>
Valid: 2429<br>
</p>
<p>Personally I'm not in favor of FB although we do own <a

(it is currently hidden)<br>
</p>
<p>I have been looking for alternatives and found a quite a number
of options:<br>
This is one of the more interesting because it will run on a
standard apache/php server : <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://friendi.ca/">https://friendi.ca/<br>
</a><br>
There are more here: <a
href="http://www.hidden-tech.net/social-media-ideas/">http://www.hidden-tech.net/social-media-ideas/</a><a
href="https://friendi.ca/"><br>
</a><br>
I am wondering how many would use any of these.<br>
Let start with the general idea and we can narrow to options if
there is interest.<br>
