Just wanted to see if someone else faced a similar issue and what could be the reason
I was trying to build a local discussion forum for a quite large city where people can discuss local things. It was a forum for tech people, which includes job talks, tech business, looking for a business partner, startups, etc, etc. What I found is that it is extremely difficult to do this. It looks like local tech folks are interested in communications in real life, e.g. at meetups, conferences, etc. but nobody wants to do this online. I am wondering why? Would it be great to have a discussion forum where local tech folks can talk? I think, not everyone has energy and willingness to go to meetups, some people may want to chat online with other local people. So why it doesn't work in practice? I know only one active local discussion group in a kinda difference domain, which is nextblock social network which is getting momentum now. But there are no technology discussion forums for New York or LA or SF Bay area. Any ideas why?
Thanks,
M
