This conversation has me wondering-- what about on-site instant messaging to all
members in the facility?  Has anyone had a need for it, and if so, did you
implement something?

   <br/>&#62; I&#39;m a big fan of encouraging bi-directional community messaging, something
   <br/>&#62; like a Google group or Yammer. Our members have some important things to
   <br/>&#62; say and ask and post and encourage and celebrate, so it&#39;s not just the
   <br/>&#62; owners that post. We use Yammer, and it serves it&#39;s purpose well enough.
   <br/>&#62; It&#39;s pretty much like facebook, so people can post events, messages, links,
   <br/>&#62; photos, tag with topics, etc. Members can also choose if they want desktop
   <br/>&#62; notifications, e-mails, text messages, etc for how to read posts and how to
   <br/>&#62; use the service from their obile, via desktop app, web, etc and if they

   <br/>&#62; 
   <br/>&#62; I have no affiliation with Yammer. I just think it works well for us.
   <br/>&#62; 
   <br/>&#62; And when something really important needs to be announced, no one complains
   <br/>&#62; about a regular ol&#39; e-mail that gets sent out (in addition to posting it on
   <br/>&#62; Yammer) just to be sure that everyone can read the important stuff.
