Your DOVIA,
AVA or other VPM networking association can have a web presence
without commissioning its own site. Many on line community
sites provide you with free space and tools already built in.
Check out these great examples:
Yahoo! Clubs
Yahoo! Clubs
offers a message board, calendar and even a way to send invitations
to members.
eGroups
eGroups
(soon to be part of Yahoo!) not only allows your members to get
announcements and discuss the topics of the day, they also have a
calendar, file storage, polling , chat and more.
Excite
Communities
Excite
Communities allow similar activity to eGroups without the
email.
Check these out to see if one is a good fit for
your
group!
