I am slowly moving to the use of a google plus community for the Game Day events, though I imagine I will always post about them here, as well.

I encourage everyone to check out the community at https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/100521446956165718736

Probably you can't see much until you are part of the community. It does require the use of a google plus account.. I've been using it fairly heavily for more than a year and find it a useful tool. Let me know if need an invite!

Advantages of using a google plus community:

- Invitation system to game day events that make it easily to reply in-email.
- Easy to share with other ABGers, comments, photos, videos, links
- Possible google hangouts provides live chat, possible live-streaming of game days. Dunno if we will use this, but it could be fun and/or handy
- Integration with most devices, including 'event' functionality that makes it easy to share during the event.

Disadvantages
- ? If you dislike the idea of google plus or google in general, might not be for you.

Let me know if you have any questions or problems. Of course, you can always create a bogus gmail account to use for this, if you have security concerns. I'm happy to switch over to a real account if need be in the future. There's probably some good way to have notifications forwarded to your 'real' account, as well.
