What is Reddit's opinion of GroupMe?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

• Website: Public facing
• Facebook: Our main public interaction space. Rides and events are posted and we market our races there too. Also just lots of bike culture stuff
• GroupMe: Private, real-time, messaging for the team. We use it a lot on ride/event days as well as "Anyone want to join me for a lunch ride?" sort of things. Similar to FB messenger but allows people not on FB or without smartphones to engage via SMS.
• Twitter: FB post go there and we use it to retweet everything from our sponsors and to engage the community
• Instagram: occasional ride pics

Welcome! I recommend registering an account at http://groupme.com, then send a PM on reddit to ~~/u/MiamiKing69~~ /u/forgotmypassword7 and give him your username for groupme and game platform so he can add you to the crew chat. This is a great way to keep in quick contact with everyone.

This sounds awesome, and there should definitely be an app, because that's where it's most useful.

Until the app comes, if your store isn't using groupme to communicate, suggest it to your SM. It's free, and sweet.

Most districts already have their managers communicating on it, but there's no reason not to create a store-wide and also store-shift/management group for communication.

Phone-photos of schedules can be posted to the main group so that anyone with a smart phone can check their schedule, shift-covering can be asked for within the store, any other pertinent data can be shared, props can be given publically, etc, etc.

It's an amazing tool and until this partner hub comes into its own, no reason every store shouldn't be using groupme or some other free equivalent if it exists.

Definitely in. I have not played in a few years, and I need a new stick, but I would love to. I saw some posts for Alberta pick up; is that certain weekdays or any day it is dry? It'd be nice to use a groupme group to let people know if there is going to be a game.

I downloaded it. How do I connect with you and others? Is there something one person sets up and then we all connect to?

Edit: I think I made a "2k14oa" group. Join at http://groupme.com/join_group/6729021/QKkhAW

I'm flying out there from Indiana, I would love to meet up with any redditors. Someone started a Groupme things for redditors interested in meeting up during GDC heres the link

• You can use the google doc to share contact info (esp. phone numbers for coordination).
• I think starting a group conversation with groupMe would be a great way to have a conversation throughout the week should an issue or question pop up, but also be a fantastic way to coordinate meetings, whether it's last minute or in advance.
