We move the Grasshoppers group to Ning, and after about a day, we have 78 members over there:
Over at the Facebook group, we have 878 members.
But every single person who makes the jump to the Ning group did so with effort. They didn’t click an “Accept” button in their Facebook messages next to a “Zombie Biting” game invite. They picked up their things politely and moved over and set up a little office on Ning.
The group will grow, and I’m not worried a lick about the numbers. But for every name I see join the group on Ning, I feel like the premise made sense: Grasshoppers is people, not software.
If you want to join a movement where the simple goal is to be helpful, I encourage you to come join the Grasshoppers.
