ASAA -- Any Website Suggestions?

Post by LDuyer » Sun Apr 10, 2005 6:15 pm

Probably dumb question.
But might you have any suggestions for improving or expanding the ASAA website?

I don't know how often if ever the website for the American Sleep Apnea Association is visited by our forum members and visitors.

But apparently we have the ear of the ASAA's Executive Director. And I was wondering if any of you felt their website is of any use to people or if it might be improved and how. Expanded links, perhaps? Updated more frequently, perhaps? Just wondered if there might be any constructive thoughts on the matter.

Thank you.

On a scale from 1-10 I rate the ASAA site a 4. Old info. Not many useful links. Their site is slow, outdated and generally a commercial for all the medical societys.

I find Google much more helpful. Here are a few from google.

Be more specific. What would be good to see there?

Well, for starters, I'd sure change the order of the online resource support groups to put cpaptalk.com and talkaboutsleep.com at the top of the list......on THIS AASA page.

Might as well have the ones that can offer the most helpful advice listed first.
