Ecademy.com was good for a while, then they got greedy!=20

They originally charged =A325/yr for their cheapest "GreenStar =
membership"
option (the free option places heavy restrictions on replying to comms,
etc), but now charge a whopping =A3141+VAT/yr (last I checked) cheapest
option!=20

Far too much IMO when great free business networks like www.LinkedIn.com
exist, of which I'm also a member.

I also found Ecademy's management team increasingly arrogant and =
unwilling
to listen to the community. Finally, the community is now completely
*overrun* with management/life consultants, thanks to the pricing =
strategy
and marketing model used.
