[talk2santosh]

A tuluspeakers yahoogroups is created in.groups.yahoo.com/group/tuluspeakers

Please suggest how the yahoogroups can be made more interactive. Similarly, how tuluspeakers discussion board should be made more informative. Bear in mind, how everyone will get benefitted.

Please consider this as "brainstorming session", your ideas are most welcome. Please click "Reply" and start suggesting.

Dear Friends,

There have been some advertisement and management topics that are posted in www.tuluspeakers.com that are very good. Some members have professions/business viz. interior designing, web designing and other software consulting etc. I have requested them to post their advertisements in www.tuluspeakers.com so that people would know about them and interact.

Similarly, there are matrimonials posted. In discussion board, people visit when they remember where in yahoogroups, mails keep coming into the mail box. We have to get the advantage of both of them.

Please encourage every member of your family to register with www.tuluspeakers.com. For e.g. girls will be shy to post their own matrimonial ad. Their parents will post it the board.

Further there are sections viz. jobs, marraige planners, business happening, internet and you where the members can discuss on the board.

Advantage will come, when these advertisements that are posted in the board, are required wide coverage. Posting advertisement in yahoogroup, will increase the messages in the yahoogroup thereby increasing the messages. And discussion in the board will give the string of discussion.

I am thinking of having newsletter say weekly or fortnightly depending on postings made in www.tuluspeakers.com so that these gets wide publicity to the advertisers. This can be forwarded further by members to many people.

Please also share your ideas "Brainstorm". Log on to www.tuluspeakers.com and participate in discussion on "Suggestions"..

With Regards,

Some Suggestion that were in yahoogroups were earlier: I would request you press the "Reply" and share many more. Your ideas are important.

But only with each member's interaction & active participation we would reach our objective of progress thro networking.

I think discussion topics have been kept in broad numbers, so that they may relate to a lot of members coming from various age gruops, & interests.
You may feel Kori routi interesting , i may find something else interesting. An eighteen year old may find the mail by harsha on various career options, apt.

& This is a great medium for people to reach out & share their knowledge, ......final objective being progress

There is definitely a place and need for a forum or
any kind of organized effort to integrate the
splinters of Tulu group all over the world, if you
look at it as a business opportunity, there is
definitely a market for "Thulunad" products, a point
in case being the inimitable "Kori Rotti". This
culture is a microcosm of a society in a small
geographical area, there is a lot to be offered, for
example the cusine, is excellent, it can be marketed
at least here in the USA, if one has the drive and the
time... food for thought.

I always liked the comments sent by meenal for the messages posted. But i recently registered with you as a group member.

I am shy in nature. That is the reason i could not
communicate properly. In fact i am a Grapics
designer. I am doing the jobs at home. Maily i am
good in animations, broucher design, and i can build
attractive Web sites. I am also doing data entry jobs
at home. So if anybody who can help me out to get
some orders, i will be really greatfull to them.

Let us make it active group in the days to come. - Annapa, Udupi

Expectation from the Tuluspeakers:
When somebody contributes , everybody likes some stuff and nobody likes all the stuff contributed.
But still everybody and anybody should contribute .

If all of us generate just one idea , share some excellent experiences it will be just great.

People from our group range from various age group and all walks of life so we all have thirst for learning something new and from all of you.



When I ask myself why I want to be a part of this group there are few things that come to my mind:

1.How are our people doing in different parts of globe ?

2.And how did they go about doing it in different professions?

3.How can in someway I can contribute ?

4. Want to learn from other peoples experiences also.

5.want to learn better way of doing things, be it any profession.

When I think in these lines it make me contribute in this group.Be a active member , please contribute , share atleast once a week to start with , don’t wait for somebody,anybody,nobody and everybody to contribute.

"If u do others will follow".

Better interaction can be achieved if the members introduce themselves & get familiar with others.


1.A brief introduction to Name,Location,Nature of work would be a good idea to start with.
The net savvy folks can have their Links to their home page/webpage

2. One can write about their work, profession,education
about the companies they work for.

3. Write about their interesting activities or hobbies
like yoga, meditation,trekking,etc.
their good /bad experiences.

4.Some social issues they feel strongly about or want to discuss

Some members have asked me "what do i write?or how do i contribute?"
the answer is simply "write about yourself,whatever you feel like writing"
that is the best contribution, as everyone would be happy to know about you

santosh,

I suggest that u start a section called :
"I benefited by tuluspeaker"
Here people share their experiences about how tuluspeakers site benifitted them :
1) finding a friend whom they had lost contact
2) Something in their career decision
3) Finding a life patner
4) Read some good articles

Basically i want to know what is the general feeling of these 49 members .Are they happy or they want something more.Not suggestions in these section but basically how did they benefit from the site.
Regards
Harsha

Harsha,

I expected Tuluspeakers are lively by nature. and expected that they would take benefit of the discussion board, which provides them an opportunity to make friends across the globe.

Otherwise it would be a Taj Mahal, in memory of those who lived but never discussed.
