“Instonians live” – an experiment in communication
The “Instonians live” is an experiment by harry Mussen to try and streamline the live scores on Saturday afternoons.
At the moment, Harry posts to four Instonian chats, the Ulster Rugby Scores chat and the Energia AIL Div 2 chat.
Often, he resembles a whirling dervish!
WhatsApp have just introduced the Communities function and he is trying to use it to make one post go to all our Instonian chats.
It’s a work in progress and might well be superseded by the Instonians One App.
