I doubt that many know how I spread the word about TOTV when I launched it.

I stood on the street corner and handed out fliers

I went to every doctors office and put stacks of fliers on every magazine end table.

I went to Spanish springs and sat down at every table and personally asked people to sign on

Somebody put stickers on every outdoor waste receptacle.

Somebody put stickers on every gas pump.

i tried to buy an ad in the paper, but they refused to sell me one.

The Villages told me to stop
I remember your visit to the Villages Computer Club in July of 2007 and the raffle you set up for some trip to get people to sign up for Talk of the Villages. I joined right away but remember I did get a lot of static from Tony for my putting in too many links. You guys said that it took readers away from Talk of the Villages rather than using it.

The negative stuff from the Villagers' Developer sounds accurate too if my memory serves.

Not many of the 2007 crowd on here anymore. They use Facebook for the most part now. And many have passed on or moved from the Villages.
