Things change and so do people. One of the fastest changing areas is the Internet and IT. In the many years I have been associated with ActiveRain, the platform and software has gone through many iterations. There were some ideas, such as “Call the Shot” which came in with a lot of hoopla and like the dinosaur, went into extension without much fan fare.
Earlier today, Patricia Feager mentioned something that I have not though of in many years, ActiveRain Groups. Groups are smaller communities within the ActiveRain shell typically focused on a particular interest. Groups are created by other members and at one time, this seemed to be the craze. As of this post, there are just over 7300 groups. Most are probably inactive.
My question is, should inactive groups be purged from the system or should groups go away all together? I started some groups years ago and as a moderator, I am ashamed to say that I have done nothing with them in years. And how about the moderators that started groups and no longer are ActiveRain participants?
Today, we seem to live in an age where less is more. There are a lot of things vying for our time. Is it time for groups to go the way of the dinosaur? And that my friends, is my 2￠’s worth for today.
