Iâm been looking around for software to help me manage an increasing number of affinity networks. These are networks that Iâve created around different topics, such as the books Iâve written â like Startup Communities and Venture Deals â as well as topics Iâm exploring with small to medium sized groups of people.
So far Iâve tried a bunch of stuff and have ended up back at email groups, which is the least common denominator. Iâve tried a few different products for email groups and always end up back at Google Groups, which is fine, but extremely uninspiring in terms of anything beyond âcreating the groupâ and âsending around emails.â
Iâve tried Facebook, LinkedIn, and Slack. None of them work. Iâm now completely off Facebook, so thatâs not really an option anymore. LinkedIn is way too LockedIn and has serious limitations. Slack is a messy nightmare that has a geometric decline curve of activity.
Any suggestions out there?
