Suggestion for Meetup.com

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I’m not sure that this is a problem for most meetup.com groups, but the Columbus Techlife group schedules quite a large number of meetups. For a group of over 600 people, that’s a good thing. There’s a pretty wide variety of events, covering the wide variety of interests among the group. And I get an email every single time one is added, a reminder as it approaches, and another right before it.

Meetup doesn’t have any options to turn off these emails either. Apparently, if I want to not get emails about every new event, I would have to leave the group, which would then mean I couldn’t RSVP to the events I am actually interested in!

C’mon Meetup, I have plenty of other ways to know of upcoming events, I follow the group’s founders on Twitter, for example. Give me the option to turn off those emails!

Pulitzer Prize Winning Photos

This afternoon the wife and I went to the Ohio Historical Society’s main facility here in Columbus to see the Capture the Moment: The Pulitzer Prize Photographs exhibit. If you’re in Columbus between now and July 25, I’d highly recommend making an effort to get there. It was quite an impressive collection of photos. The one…

Linked – Where did social media go wrong?

This is an interesting observation, in fact, I was just considering something similar the other day, about how we went from relishing the freedom of expression that blogging provided anyone and everyone, to where we are today, trying to shut people up on social media. For most of my life, the internet, particularly its social…

An Example of Too Much Trust in IT

Hey, remember when I wrote about network security monitoring and whether you trust your IT folks? Or the podcast discussion we had on the Nuix Unscripted podcast? One of our big takeaways from the discussion was to make sure there are multiple people involved in deciding what to monitor, or who to target, to avoid…

Linked – This is the year of the RSS reader. (Really!)

I have heard this before, but is the Twitter situation going to be the thing that moves the needle for RSS? I started using Revue to send newsletters last year as an option for people who were trying to follow my websites on social media but ran into the algorithm deciding not to shat them anything that was being posted, especially with Facebook Pages. It had some subscribers but not that many. After Twitter killed Revue, I also moved to Substack and have seen some growth, but I’m also realizing that we can’t replicate Twitter with email newsletters.

Contact sub-folders

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

Let’s make a rule. If you use a mobile device that doesn’t support sub-folders in the address book, don’t bother having sub-folders in your Outlook contacts, ok? Of course in our office it’s not completely the user’s fault. Some years ago, when upgrading to Office 2000 I think, our IT staff created a backup of…
