Usually a sufficient number. And the people hooked into the right sources yes. but, there are many others who haven't but what can you do. The sites attract similar crowds the online blind community is small. The others may not know about it, or just aren't interested. The question is advertising and what you do to get them to join. You'll always get a similar online crowd they advertise whereever and those interested join, as mentioned a standard crowd. Now how do you proceed? How do you reach these others there are people who wants to be part of each site and not want to be part of others. Others are not so inclined and don't really want to join them. Others are just not motivated, or have not tapped in the blind community online. They don't want to, they have not looked, or they lack motivation. So how do you get it to them? These platforms are all over the internet. People are sharing it rapidly across facebook and twitter. But, those others who don't know, aren't connected. In my experience usually older people or not interested in the blind community and not connected with other blind people anyway. anyway, the younger crowd dominates these places. How do you get an older crowd to be interested? They don't usually want to join, and the younger crowd don't want to mix with them. They are less informed with technology, website, just get on facebook occasionally, are limited to facebook, and just their regular contacts. They don't reach out to get to know other blind people or have a desire to search for it. The ones who have has found these various sites. Vorail is dying, but they are attempting to reach out to a older community. But, not succeeding. They are looking to make their own portable audio social media device that older people can work to, but it's expensive, and have not made it to the right hands. I suspected there is not much advertising to the right crowd. They are chasing both sited blind. Tom had this vision of older people joining, but for the sake of money has abandoned it. They are looking at offline blind conventions to spread the word. The blind members have done a lot. They bring it up in real life, and at their blind organizationso and when meeting up with friends. However it's still not reaching. You propose we do what? We can go find them maybe at these blind places and you can talk to the elderly, but you can risk them just saying no, and not being interested. Most of them can't use technology or get online anyway. And, now what?
Also, let me kind of tell you what others have found out who have ventured down the road of this market. It's not a market and not profitable. How do as sustain. Vorail is struggling, and so was something like the zone. Developers lose inerest. There is something like out-of-sight, but I am a little confused with how to join. I did join but they never approved my membership. I don't know too much about them. They are reaching similar crowds maybe., but they do a fair job I think. They're still around, but have not been on in a long time. I have an account with them somewhere. Have no idea what their administration is like, or their struggles. The sites Ive taken interested inand massively more popular just had issues and didn't last. The vorail thing is still well and alive, but I wouldn't say without it's struggles financially.
So, you have this at hand.
