That has begun to change. So far, TriStateWit has more than 60 subscribers. Ryan hopes that with more publicity, the list-serv will grow. The bigger the list gets and the more active it gets, the more powerful and useful it is for people. Membership in TriStateWit is free.
Subscribers can post a question or comment in the form of an e-mail.
Bobbi Sinn, manager of operations for Digerati Link, which provides technology-based environment for corporate training needs in Columbus, is a TriStateWit subscriber who also has received feedback within 24 hours. She said she hasn't seen much action on the TriStateWit list-serv yet because it is so new. Women can use list-servs for information on career counselors, where to find a new server, even requesting information on subletting an apartment or asking for help in finding a nanny, Sinn said. The list-serv is a grapevine of the IT community. It's exciting to eavesdrop or participate in the dialogue.
