Title: NCB WhatsApp group
Post by: nigel_c on June 02, 2015, 08:29:20 PM
Right with brewdays going on what do people think about setting up a NCB whatsapp group? If anyone has any problems or just wants to ask a quick question without posting on the forum it could be a handy offline option. You would probably get an answer back a lot quicker plus its handy to arrange NCB stuff without having to wait for each member to log on and check messages.

Anywho anyone who wants in PM me and with name and number and I'll set up a group.

What does whatsapp do that other apps don't?

I suppose it's just a fancy viber,  but it's focused on messaging rather than calls

Critical mass of people use it. If you install it chances are 50%+ of your contacts will have a Whatapp icon.

What does WhatsApp bring to the table?
Tinder is obviously something to do with starting a fire.  :-*

We have had a whatsapp group in capital for months. Really handy and you get an instant response to a question any time of the day or night. Really good craic too when there is an event on. There are nearly 25 in the group and 2 or 300 messages a day roughly. That is why you never see any posts in the capital sub forum any more as its faster to post to the group.

Highly recommended for any of the clubs.
