Totally Unauthorized

Bridge would be a great game if you didn’t need a partner.  Okay, I like the partnership part, but I hate the idea of calling people up to get a partner.  Which is why I never do–I’m like one of the old ladies of Boston society, I don’t get my partners, I have my partners.

Now Allie Whiteneck has taken a great leap forward in modern social media to make life easy for us.  She has started a group at http://groups.google.com/group/bridgepartner499.  Go there and join (it’s free, natch, and takes about 10 seconds)

The point of the group is that you can post a quick note to say “looking for a game on Wednesday”.  Everyone else will see it, and you’ll get a partner.  Or at least that’s the plan.  Clearly, the more people who join, the more successful the partnership board will be.  Tell you friends.  Tell you neighbors.  Tell your neighbors friends and your friends neighbors.

You can see what is going on by going to the site, http://groups.google.com/group/bridgepartner499, and you can also opt to have all new postings emailed to you.

This is a great idea, Allie seems to have a lot of great ideas.  Remember, that’s http://groups.google.com/group/bridgepartner499 for all your bridge partnership needs.
