Why use Discourse over Linkedin, Google, or Facebook Groups?

Yeah, maybe moms indeed. And newbies in general.

What I meant is that if you simply link your facebook profile in discourse you’ve already connected it. And if you link back your discourse profile on facebook, you make it “legit”. So you actually can be known as the same person either way. Discourse is not meant to be “dead plain easy and simple” to join. We want to keep some level of difficulty as a small filter. I think an easy way to “connect” facebook profile would go against that.

Also, unless facebook implements discourse within itself, you probably won’t be able to convince anyone to switch over. People don’t just move over. No feature will help you there. Your best bet would be closing the facebook group. People are lazy as hell when it’s about learning something new, no matter how much better it is.

There is at least another big reason to use discourse over the rest. Because google is already trying to copy discourse! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

It’s only a matter of time before facebook and linkedin either follow it as well. Or even (probably not, though) use it!

최근 야후! 그룹(Yahoo! Groups)의 서비스 종료는 또 다른 이유를 시사합니다. 어떤 상용 플랫폼이든 사라질 수 있으며, 그렇게 되면 콘텐츠를 어떻게 복구해야 하는지, 그리고 다음으로 무엇을 해야 할지 막막해집니다.

구글 역시 수익을 창출하지 못하거나 계획이 변경된 제품을 종료한 전력이 있습니다. 아래는 일부 목록입니다: List of Discontinued Google Products: Google Plus, Glass, Play Music - Business Insider.
