[Bessig] Google Plus / Google Drive for BESSIG?

[Lynn Yarmey]

Hi all, 

Social media for BESSIG is a really interesting proposition! Following up
on a few comments yesterday about how overextended we all are, I
appreciate Neil's comment about maintenance time. I wonder if there are
specific goals we can use to target the conversation and pick appropriate
tools?  What exactly are we missing in our current once-per-month in
person meetings, webpage, and email list set up? I have seen other groups
struggle with managing multiple channels (Facebook, google*, blogs, wikis,
LinkedIn groups, etc) and think some up-front discussions of what we are
aiming for might help us succeed.

Lynn
