i65 NMD... Leaves Meetup, Now a Ning Community

A NEW PLACE

A few months ago, I began wondering why I was paying out $10 a month to host a monthly Meetup when no one was interested enough to come.  So, I decided to look for a venue where I could still offer and build a meeting base, with a more favorable financial investment .. ie, something Free!

Then Ning Communities reappeared ont my radar… again!  I say, reappeared again, because I first signed up for a Ning account a year ago.  Yes, it only took me a year to move.  Brontosaurus reaction time!  Such is the plague of too many irons-in-the-fire and only two hands to juggle them all.  Too many get dropped.  Sometimes you get burned, too!

So I decided to give the Ning Community a whirl.

I like it. I hope the rest of you will, too. Once the i65Ning is fully up and running: filled in with data, projects, ideas and activity: I believe everyone will look forward to being involved.

Construction on the Ning Community: i65 NewMedia, continues daily.  It’s by no means complete, but it’s very usable.  Besides, what’s ‘complete’ in site building?  404!

EXPANDED MISSION

i65Ning will serve as the core online location for members of i65 NewMedia to come together for communicating and doing. Be sure to register to join the fun.  Remember, if you have a Ning ID, use that ID to enter i65Ning.

i65Ning will link back to this WordPress blog to provide complete coverage of digital development and experimentation within the worldwide audience we already have and want to expand.

The last 3 weeks having been incredibly busy,  resulted my biffing the setup of the Ning sites’ Calendar.  As a result no one knew there was a meeting this month and I ended up doing a ‘solo meeting’.  My apologies to the group for the fumble.

I’ve now added a calendar of events on the Ning site; with a link from here as well. So all meeting times/dates are posted so there should not be any confusion in the future.

Be sure to READ both the Blog and i65 Ning.  They compliment, not duplicate each other.

OK .. I’m outta here for now.  See you in  the digital feeds among the i65 NewMedia outlets.
