The EcoSIG Virtual Community
What it does: The virtual community is an email distribution service that links all of us through one email account. After you sign on to the mailing group, you will receive every message that is sent to the central email address. That central email address is EcoSIG@yahoogroups.com. However, when you receive the message in your regular mailbox, it will say that it is from the person who actually sent it to the mailing group. (So no anonymous messages.)
If you reply to that message, it will only go to the person who originally sent the message. If you want to reply and want everyone to see it, just send your reply to the community at EcoSIG@yahoogroups.com. For example, I send a message to the virtual community about an idea for an environmental campaign. Everyone receives it in their regular email mailbox and reads it. Then anyone can send another message to the community either in support of the idea to point out problems with it. Or someone could respond to me only simply by replying to my message.
The listbot doesnft have to be limited to EcoSIG business. You can schedule get-togethers, ask for advice about lessons for school, talk about organizing an event in your ken, or ask if anyone wants to go hiking next weekend. Nan demo ii. Once you are connected to this service, you will all be able to communicate quickly and easily with each and every EcoSIG member to share ideas, get or give help with projects, keep up with what the group is doing and thinking, and just generally get to know each other better. We all joined EcoSIG for many of the same reasons, so why not share our thoughts and ideas with everyone.
There are many advantages to joining the EcoSIG virtual community. You wonft have to gather email addresses or other contact info. The virtual community logs every message that is sent, so newcomers to the service can go to the web site and find out what has been discussed recently. Maybe the best part about this is that it is completely free!!
How to sign up: Simply go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EcoSIG. Click on the word "join" on the right hand side of the screen and you will be taken to the sign-up page. If you already have a Yahoo ID, you can enter it in the box on the right. Otherwise, you will need to sign up for a Yahoo ID. Either way, Yahoo will walk you through the process. It is quick and painless, and no, they wonft blitz you with junk mail. Once you have signed on to the EcoSIG Virtual Community, you will never need to visit this site again. EcoSIG looks forward to hearing from you!
