It comes up once in a while, and follow up by asking what they want to accomplish by having their businesses listed on the site. Then we show examples of the value of putting more focus on stories, people, and interactions than transactions and companies, and people are quick to agree that they don't want Indy Hall to be a race car covered in logos but instead keep things focused on the human interactions that have made their experience at Indy Hall valuable. > Another important element we wanted to highlight on our new site was our > community events This has always been one of our hardest problems to tackle, and not just because of technology (though we've been unhappy with most of the tools we've tried) but moreso the way events evolve and morph over time. Calendars undercommunicate. Meanwhile, we know that people often miss things because they didn't hear about them through their preferred channels.. In the short term, we've addressed our lack of a public calendar with a weekly itinerary of events that we send to our members list every monday. Our next-steps for the site include re-launching the blog and finding a rhythm for our public newsletter, between which we'll use as the primary sources for highlighting events. -Alex -- /ah indyhall.org coworking in philadelphia pre-order my new eBook, "the business of community" -- Visit this forum on the web at http://discuss.coworking.com --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
