Module 2 Lists

Before I started the next tasks which is pros and cons between emai lists versus discussion boards I went to join an email lists which I never done before. Actually at the first time, I don't even know what email lists is. So I surfed at the internet and also read all about it at discussion boards. Because I was already a part of discussion boards with the university I can make the conclusions.

Email Lists Pros:

Infact if you can send an email you can be a part of an email lists. You don't have to go out to serach for discussion board everytime you want to discuss about something the email will come to you.
They are totally for public or membership and you also can find lots of opinion and information on many issues.
