Hi there -
I am starting a Meetup support group for ppl with BPD in the San Francisco area, and I am actually considering making it more accessible to other locations. I work in technology (I know, geek!) and have been playing around with the idea of hosting virtual meetings, where ppl can dial in and talk. I have a few nifty tools up my sleeve, such as web conferencing software, etc., and can probably even do some web-camming.
My thought: not everyone can (or is willing) to show up at a meeting in person, and in a lot of places, there are no meetings at all. With technology these days, why limit interactions to just a message board, as great as this is?
What do you guys think? Am I just geeking out? Do you think ppl would be willing to call in?
