OCUS Usage

Post by NativTxn » Tue Jun 07, 2011 5:30 pm

I asked a "Question" on my profile to see if people are using OCUS or not (and why). If you want to see the results, keep an eye on http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=que ... 1189971678 and feel free to answer it and forward to fellow cachers.

Just my curiosity getting the best of me.

How about a brief update on the results for those of us that use alternative social networking sites. Or in my case ...none

I see the votes from some saying they are loyal to GC. To me, that just limits them to what is there and they are missing out on different caches and cache types.

I'll give it a few days and I'll post the results here.

Dave...I thought we were friends, too. Must have just been on Twitter and/or Google Talk. Anyway...we are now. :)

I have found caches on OCUS - 4 votes

No. I'm loyal to GC - 6 votes

I have placed caches on OCUS - 3 votes

No. I simply haven't gotten around to it yet ! - 2 votes

There seems to be a mis-conception that OCUS is not moderated. I have explained to those I asked online and in person that the US site *IS* moderated. The Garmin .COM site is NOT. Maybe this needs to be emphasized more to point out the differences??

I am sure that many associate this site with the .com and that hurts us. It's a distinction we'll need to make when mentioning the site either in person or online.

Was wondering if something specific led to the new news story.

Agree, though. Maybe Garmin will eventually decide maintaining the site isn't worth their while.
