[MR] Yahoo is evil Was: Re: An Idea Croppeth Up.... was: Re: OTC ISO Electrician inCharlotte NC

[sorren23 at nc.rr.com]

They deleted an entire group I belonged to (gardening club) and wouldn't 
restore our existence, and we lost our membership list.  This is just the 
most extreme example of yahoo sloppiness I have experienced.  Has nothing to 
do with settings.

I've never really had those problems with Yahoo...then again, I adjusted my 
account settings. I have never had any issue with them sharing my personal 
info, because I asked them not to via said settings.

The baronial lists are not all on yahoo. Yahoo is evil and gives your 
information to everyone, and then blocks your friends and legitimate 
business contacts from emailing you while still allowing spam to get 
through. Or they send you two copies of everything.


I think someone will need to volunteer to head this effort up and actually 
be responsible for it. I cannot - I wear too many hats as it is. :)

That's an awesome idea. If this list was on Yahoo, yahoo has databases on 
its list pages. I wonder if the moderators could do something to that 
effect? I don't know whether SCA laws would permit it on the kingdom 
website...


Aren't all the baronial lists on yahoo? That would help for localized labor. 
If each barony did a database on it's own site...

hmmmmm

This gives mit ein Idea....



Is ther any reason (besides logistics) that we couldn't produce an online

directory of SCA folk who do RL services so we CAN send our business to each

other?  It could maybe be localized: put in your zip code and a mileage

metric ("within X miles of xip code Y...") and a search term (plumber,

farrier, contractor, hay, electrician, etc) and lo, up poppeth a reasonably

local SCA person's business....



Just an idea....
