OK. Head in sand. Twitter? Facebook? Don't subscribe to ether. Haven't felt the need to.

I think twitter and FB are more efficient
ways of info dissemination.

Achtung
Gruppe!

Well, here we
are at California Disasters on Yahoo Groups, two monthsinto
our 8th year of existence. When I started this group which
came about two years after I first joined Yahoo Groups which
was also my first ever entry into the world of social
networking websites, there were a host of other popular
Yahoo Groups which overlapped into certain sections of
California Disaster's areas of interest and vice versa.



However, CD was its own entity and not
intended to compete with any of them. Such other popular
public safety and scanner monitoring groups included
SoCalFire, SoCalScan, CaliforniaOnlineScanning, NorCalFire,
BayScan, et al.


As time passed we have watched as
Yahoo Groups' market share has diminished due to
technological innovations, new market options, people's
changing habits, and Yahoo's own mistakes.

The aforementioned
groups are either dead silent or merely periodically chirp.
Even California Disasters is mostly about me posting stuff
which was always the case to some degree but never more so
than now as fewer and fewer of you contribute.


In the meantime, other options I
initially eschewed such as Twitter and Facebook and Reddit
have undermined Yahoo Group's marketshare and as part of
the trend I moved California Disasters into those social
networks where California Disasters continues to thrive with
more and more members joining all the time.


This leads me to wonder how many of
you are actually still here and monitoring my posts? What
are your thoughts on all of this? Is it time to shut this
down and focus CD on Twitter, Facebook and Reddit or are
enough of you still following there and deriving some sort
of benefit to keep CD going on its original social
network?


Even if you do not wish to chime in
with an opinion I'd still like to take a sort of roll
call and see who is still here so please check in with even
a simple one-word response!

Sincerely,


Kim Patrick Noyes
