Created a Coleco Adam Google Group

[plbyrd]

For those of us who like to keep up with our hobbies via email, I've created a new Coleco Adam group at Google Groups. The URL is https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/coleco-adam

 

Come on over and join!

Like a "usenet" Google Group? I know that Adam is a retro-system, and deserves some retro love, but isn't usenet kind of dead thanks to online forums and social media pages?

Usenet isn't quite dead yet.

 

Google Groups is an interface for usenet, but Google has their own groups that aren't part of Usenet and are much more fully featured. I like Google Groups a lot more than forums because I don't need a web browser to participate. Much more convenient for mobile devices, IMHO.

The Apple II community still lives on Usenet, although they seem to be migrating more to Facebook lately. There's also a fairly active Channel F/VideoBrain group on Usenet.

Why not just make a Facebook group page? Oh wait... somebody already has.

I've searched for Coleco Adam on Facebook and there aren't any groups popping up, just a lame page from Wikipedia.

NM, just found it on FB. Weird how their search results don't show the group, but the autocomplete does.

Indeed, there has been a Coleco ADAM group on Facebook for a while, but there isn't a lot going on over there, especially when compared to this Forum. When it's all said and done, it's nice to see the CV and ADAM getting some attention via other outlets, but AtariAge's Forums are still the best avenue in my opinion for all this retro-goodness.

FWIW, I've also created an ADAM Wiki site: http://www.adamwiki.info

 

It would be great if those who have a lot (or even a little) knowledge of the ADAM would join and contribute.
