Re: [californiadisasters] Of Ugly Step-Children & Yahell Frack-ups

I do not have either a facebook or twitter account and have refused to get one (and it seems my own council on that has been wise, of late).

I vote this stays.

Today
is the 112th anniversary of the last major rupture of the
San Andreas Fault Zone in Northern California (Loma Prieta
in 1989 was not major). This led to an urban conflagration
of San Francisco in the days following for which the
disaster is most remembered.

Typically, CaliforniaDisasters and
CaliforniasEarthquakeForum members receive automatic
Calendar event announcements of this disaster (and others)
with a brief description. These were not issued this morning
for both groups. In fact, the last automatic one received
for CaliforniaDisasters members was February 10, 2018 (two
of them) and for CaliforniasEarthquakeForum was February 9,
2018.

This morning I
have repeatedly tried to get into the Calendar events
feature from within the home page web interface for both
groups and received this message each time: "Your
access to this calendar is being processed. Please check
back later." I'm sorry, but I'm over it!

It is time for the
CaliforniaDisasters family to have this discussion again: do
we continue on Yahell Groups? What strong arguments remain
to keep this version going when the Facebook and Twitter and
Reddit versions (especially the Twitter) versions are so
much superior and clearly Yahell treats their groups service
as their ugly step-children?

For those who feel technologically
limited and believe they can only do Yahoo Groups, I'm
willing to get on the phone with you and walk you through
the process of getting set up on Twitter which is actually
quite amazing for our purposes. Retired moderator Gene
Salvetti made the same argument in the early part of this
decade and I poo-pooed it at the time. Later, I converted,
realizing the deepening quietude on the fire and earthquake
Yahell groups was not an expression of disinterest in the
subject but rather that folks had moved on to better
platforms like forums (example: the late Wildlandfire.com
Hotlist) and Twitter for sure. Twitter features hundreds and
thousands of great fire and earthquake and other disaster
accounts of which I follow 802 of them and only share the
best and more relevant stuff so even if you only follow me
on Twitter you will be getting a very synthesized and
cleaned-up stream of useful and relevant information but
with visuals like photos and GIFs and even short WEBMs as
well as commentary from scientists and first responders and
emergency managers, et al.

Let the dialogue commence. For those
making the argument we stay here my initial response is
FIGHT ME! :-p
