Ecademy Update

A week or so ago I wrote about my disappointment with some restrictions that the social network ecademy.com had placed on its membership.

I'm happy to report that ecademy has changed the way members connect to other members. The old system of connecting by sending a message has been abandoned and now there is a special "connect" function which is open to all members, paid or not.

Free members still cannot initiate messages (although they can reply to them) but now at least free members can grow their network, which is as I said in my last post, the whole point of a social networking system.

Kudos to ecademy for seeing the light!
