Woodworking group

This is a really neat club. Have you guys considered setting up a
Woodworking group on mymapspace.com. This way memebers can see each
other location and also instant message each other. If you get a
chance, check it out - http://www.mymapspace.com

Hello All,

I just want to say thanks for considering the new website that I've
menetioned yesterday! You guys are really nice compare to somepeople
who wouldn't at least consider it before sayng no. I just thought I'd
be really cool having a woodworking group. I took woodshop before and
it was a lot of fun.

Have a nice day!

Joe,

Thanks for the advice. Our demo is really general. We are interested in
creating a destination for everyone to connect. The neat thing about
the site is that people can see each other's location and make new
friends. Which I think can bring in more people who are interested in
woodworking.

I thank you for your advice and compliment. it means a lot!

Best!

I just used an instant-messenging thingy to quote your "Never?" response
from upthread at some friends. That would be a bit odd to do over the
phone.... :)

Yep, this is a pretty good group.

How does it compare to the cooking club, digital photo group, Beatles
group and all the MANY other news groups you've posted this message to?

BTW, do you work for "mymapspace.com"?

LOL. I stopped by Rockler yesterday to pick up some wood screws and the
place was full of "crusty old farts" watching one of those interminable
demonstrations they put on.

Hell, when I walked in _I_ brought the average age down about five years.

Never? I suppose in this modern era there are a few. Really though,
it's not so bad. Just do your homework and proceed with caution the
first few times. Be sure to take notes, as you'll need them down the
road. I do it all the time and except for filling out the monthly
reports, I'm almost unaware that I'm doing it. I will say this, you'll
go through a LOT of rubber gloves and plastic straws so be sure to
stock up. If you ever decide to give it a whirl, let us know how it
goes.

Very often I prefer instant messaging to the phone. I suppose it's
more about preference than anything else. Plus you can send/recieve
files, not to mention there are no long distance charges.

You can't use it, it's copy righted.

Because if you know where I'm at, you'd probably want to visit, and
if you want to pee on the bushes go ahead, just don't expect an
audience.. However, if you want to come by and pee on my electric
fence, I'd make an exception in your case. That would, of course, be
videotaped., and copies made available to the group, at a price just
sufficient to cover expenses and shipping.

It's a lot more satisfying hanging up the telephone on someone.

You have to keep in mind demographics and benefits.

Realistically, what is the average demographic that your site would
appeal to and what is the average demographic of this group? And most
importantly, what benefits does your site offer and is this group
demographic looking for those benefits? Simple marketing 101.

Good luck with your site... it looks good!

Maybe it would be wise to specific it up a bit. Open to all of
course... but who do you target?

I read an interesting bit about myspace.com... which is at least in
the same ballpark as your site. The developers of myspace said that
nearly all of their improvements and features were a result of user
suggestions. They built what their users seemed to want. I'm not sure
how that ties into this discussion of demographics, but it's a good
idea to keep in mind as you proceed.

Connections abound. And aside from the map angle, what is different
about your site?

Back to the demographic thing... at my age I already have enough
friends, and if I want to know their location, I'll just ask them ;-)

Bring them in to where? Your site? To discuss woodworking? Good luck.

Anyhow, I'm not trying to piss on your parade... just offer some
thinking points. I do wish you the best of luck.
