I prefer listserves over online forums and email to IM. Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks: I like to get information by email. And I don't like having to look at a web page/feed reader every day to find out whether anything new has appeared on an RSS feed. I want information to come to me -- I don't want to seek it out.

took over the world, people were part of smaller online participatory communities called listservs. Yet even after all these years, many organizations still haven’t mastered how to use listservs in building successful and engaging online communities. The biggest barriers groups face is how to structure listservs.

Back in the old days, there was a very small community of peer that I could ask questions and learn from — we had a listserv! My work was as a trainer, to teach people who to use these tools strategically. That small community evolved into the organization – NTEN – the association for nonprofit techies.
