We are always looking for ways to enhance the HuddWeb experience and one area that we have failed in is introducing a discussion board facility for interested bowlers to swap stories, opinions and topics of interest. We have tried different versions of systems without any long-lasting success. We may have to accept that many bowlers are loath to comment on all things bowling but we haven't given up yet.
We have had our HuddWeb Facebook pages for some years but that only goes so far in satisfying a recognised need to engage more easily with the local bowling community. So we are taking the quest one step further by setting up our own WhatsApp group. The intent being that a dedicated HuddWeb WhatsApp group would be open to all to discuss any bowling-related topic that members cared to introduce.
What is WhatsApp?
Launched in 2009, WhatsApp is a free, multi-platform messaging app that lets users make video and voice calls, send text messages, share their status, and more with just a Wi-Fi connection. Part of what makes this app appealing is that it works on various phone and computer operating systems, so you can continue your conversation anytime, anywhere. It can also take advantage of Wi-Fi and cellular data to make one-on-one or group calls, reducing the need for expensive calling charges. You can make free international phone calls. WhatsApp, owned by Facebook, now has 1 billion users worldwide and is the biggest online messenger app on the market.
To use WhatsApp you need a compatible smartphone or tablet with a sim card, an internet connection, and a mobile phone number. The app uses your phone number as its username, and your account is locked to the phone, although you can transfer your contacts over to new devices.
How do I join the HuddWeb WhatsApp group?
The HuddWeb WhatsApp group will be launched on Friday 13 January (yes I know!!). There are no costs to joining the group. If you are not already a WhatsAppp user you need to download WhatsApp from Apple Store or Play Store onto your smartphone and register for a new account.
To join our new group just fill in the form below and submit it anytime. Once received and we are comfortable with your reasons to join the group we will send you a link to join up. The service will open up on Friday 13th January and everyone that sign up will get that link invitation that morning. Complete and submit the form before Friday 13th to make sure that you are a member from day one of the new service but the invitation is still valid and open to new members after Friday the 13th.
