One way to get better uptake on any social metworking site is to invite the people you are working with to set it up and tell others about it. My experience is that if I have was the one doing it, there was very little uptake. To the exten that the group itself can explore, design and invite to the site, it gets used that much more to meet their own needs. It's such a simple thing to overlook, but it's of course keeping in the essence of OST...<br>

<div>Subject: [OSLIST] what web tool do you recommend for...<br><br><br>Hi everyone,<br><br>What's your favorite web tool for inviting people to communicate with<br>one another prior to a gathering?<br><br>Ideally, it is easy to use for non-techies, not software download, not<br>
too expensive, fast, and has a simple and clear interface.<br><br>The wikis that I'm familiar with are not user-friendly enough for many<br>folks.<br><br>On another note, anyone have experience with Adobe Acrobat Connect<br>
Pro? It looks impressive and I'm interested in learning from others<br>who have used it, or something else desirable for video conferencing<br>etc.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>John Engle<br><br>*<br>*<br>==========================================================<br>
