Also, some people may not be able to get to the site at work. Sadly, some companies believe that if the site is a forum or weblog, it is "bad," hence must be blocked at all costs.
As it stands, I currently do not have access to the gentoo forums and recently, I lost access to several mail archive sites that had all kinds of good, solid and non-offensive material I used on a regular basis FOR work.
I am also quite the information hog. I try to get communication going on every front, Forums, weblogs, RSS feeds, newsletters, IRC, HF/VHF/UHF, TV, AM/FM, E-Mail, Instant messaging, snail-mail, conventions, notes, books, tapes, CDs, etc...etc...etc... Well, you get the idea.
I find that it's good to get as many opinions and ideas from as many places as possible, THEN make a decision as to what you are going to do. E-Mail lists are another great way to get even more people involved. |
