lon: at this time there are the following 'general' montgomery sailboat sites - http://www.msogphotosite.com http://www.msog.org neither of the above are 'actively updated'. msog.org 'hosts' the listproc (MAILMAN XMISSION) then there is - http://www.montgomeryowners.com IMO, this site has been 'panned' by the montgomery 'community'. even though it has a forum, blogs, photo hosting abilities, etc... it is the most 'advanced' site in it's abilities in the current www environment. there is a yahoo site - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Montyowners/ the yahoo groups site hosts only the boat owners registry. the yahoogroups 'registry was created by sean mulligan (ie, M23 'dauntless') after a general 'polling' on the msog.org/MAILMAN-XMISSION list about the interest in another 'site' being created. there is also the trailorsailor site - http://bbs.trailersailor.com/forums/montgomery/index.cgi a BBS format. and now there is the facebook offereing. i haven't joined yet ... but i do use facebook in a 'limited' way. overall i don't find the facebook service all that 'central' to my communication needs (a bit to genNEXT, 'commercia', and 'spam-like' with all the top and side ad banners). when last 'polled' the majority 'preference' was for the continued use of the listproc. if you look at 'use numbers' number two is the trailersailor BBS. the msogphotosite and msog sites are 'historical' as neither is actively updated. the montgomeryowners site hasn't had a new post in many many months (many 'political' reasons for this). dave scobie M17 #375 - SWEET PEA visit SWEET PEA's www-site - http://www.m17-375.webs.com --- On Sun, 11/8/09, zimco <zimco@gci.net> wrote: HI, I PERSONALLY DO NOT USE FACEBOOK. I THINK THE FACEBOOK APPROACH IS TO PROVIDE A PLACE FOR EXCHANGE OF IDEAS AND TO UPLOAD PHOTOS , VIDEO, ETC. THIS [MONTGOMERY BOATS MAILMAN XMISSION] SEEMS A BIT AWKWARD AS WELL. A SIMPLER APPROACH MIGHT BE TO START A YAHOO GROUP. IT IS EASY. IT ALLOWS FILES , PHOTOS, EMAIL, CALENDER, AND IT IS FREE. WE COULD LINK TO MSOG. ANYONE INTERESTED? LON SELKIE
