It has to be said that I love the Internet.
I have no idea how we functioned without it because it’s like GPS. With my diabolical sense of direction I have no idea how I got anywhere before GPS but it seems I did because the facts speak for themselves and its all in the written record along with a few rare photographs.
GPS, the internet, Google, and don’t get me started on my iPhone.
I’m not necessarily very good at it all but I know it’s massive potential and I am committed to using it as much as I can to support what I do and all the people I do it with, and for.
I administer and moderate a good number of groups that I’m very proud of, the two most important being ‘NZ Transgender News Share’ where I pull together news of interest to transgender people in Aotearoa from sources all around the world. I’m strict about behaviour, don’t editorialise, and enjoy the new friendships that arise when like-minded people come together.
I established ‘NZ Transgender News Share’ over a decade ago and update it a number of times each day.
This group has 1,900 members.
I am also proud to be the co-creator of a sports group called ‘Archery in Aotearoa’ which has been going now for almost two years and is a means whereby archery clubs and shooters from Aotearoa New Zealand can connect with what’s happening in the archery world in Aotearoa New Zealand across the many different forms of the sport. I set it up with the goal of ensuring communication is positive and friendly and we have relentlessly served the sport in a social media space where nothing much else seems to happen.
It is intentionally not aligned to any one organisation, anyone can post, and many people do. It’s not a site for commercial activities or buying and selling equipment but is exclusively for sharing enjoyable updates about club activities and fabulous images of the sport. I update the site multiple times a day,
Feedback, when it comes, has been uniformly great which is affirming.
This group has 1,500 members.
