Re: Add Applications to the Listserv?

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I'm afraid to add anything to mine. I've gotten so much spam from these types of add ons. Maybe someone has a suggestion on how to add without the spam?

Hi Listmembers,

There is a "new" feature (first time I noticed it, anyway) on yahoogroups where we can add certain applications to our listserv. Below are a list of those applications. Please take a look at the list and see if you think any of these would be helpful to our members? Or don't add any and just leave well enough alone?

Regards,

Address Book

Create a dynamic, online address book so your group can stay in touch. You control what fields are part of the address book.

Birthdays

An easy way to create a birthday list for your group.

Favorites

Enable your group to build a list of their favorite things. You can choose one of our default list types (favorite posts, movies, music, books, or TV) or create your own custom favorites type.

For Sale

Create an easy way for people to buy and sell from each other. You can choose to customize the application to make it about a specific type of item (e.g. bicycles or tickets or ) or leave it open to anything.

Give Away

Whether you're a Freecycling or Freesharing group that is dedicated to giving stuff away or you're a group that is about something else entirely but just wants to make exchanges possible among group members, this application makes it easier for folks to give stuff away.

Group Profile

Allow your members to create an online profile that is just for this group with questions that you decide.

How To (Instructions)

Enable group memebers to share "how to" guides

Jobs

An easy way to enable job postings to the group.

People Map

The People Map provides an easy way for group members to share where they're from and can also be used to create a dynamic address book for the group or to create group specific profiles.

Places Map

A great way for group members to share information about places that are relevant to the group. You can customize the map to make it about a specific type of place (e.g. restaurants or dog parks or tourist attractions) or leave it open to anything.

I think the apps would be helpful--following are my votes. It may

reduce your work load eventually because you can refer FAQ's to these

pages

Thanks for moderating so closely, providing the research you do and

bringing this up. I don't think you get thanked enough.

A great way for group members to share information about places that

are relevant to the group. You can customize the map to make it about

a specific type of place (e.g. restaurants or dog parks or tourist

attractions) or leave it open to anything.

Like DAN docs, sped schools with aftercare, restaurants friendly to

our kids, parks with no-waiting passes, camps and other frequently

asked questions.
