Calling for SMS Alliance Downloads
We’ve added some new options to the Upload section of the site where you can upload documents, articles, whitepapers, etc. for any of the SMS Alliance members: 1E, Intrinsic, PS’Soft, Macrovision, iAnywhere, Vintela, or just the SMS Alliance, in general.
Logged into the site, go here: http://www.myitforum.com/downloads/upload.asp
Upload your file, give it a name, and choose one of the SMS Alliance companies from the list of categories (they are toward the bottom of the list).
New Discussion List Server Stats
This is pretty cool and thought I'd share with all of you. The new list server software allows me to review stats for the day (the old software did not). The software pumped out 22,782 messages yesterday for a total of 347MB of data. Pretty good!
Now, we just need to get all of you hammering the lists so we can get a real perspective on how well the new software will hold up. Go ahead -- ask your hardest topic questions.
The Lists
BTW: Due to the quick switchover this weekend, any messages you may have sent to the old ListLeague lists on Thursday or Friday of last week, feel free to forward those from your Sent Items folder to the new lists to receive answers to your questions.
