I have been reading all the comments in regards to how the SCTA should or shouldn't have communicated with everyone. There are a lot of opinions in this forum and I am not saying that any of them are wrong, but the SCTA is made up of volunteers...None of them get paid. Before the internet & cell phones, everyone would have driven to Bonneville & got turned around because of rain, and no one would have blamed anyone. The rumors would have flown around the same as they did this time.
I believe the SCTA did their best...They updated their Facebook page & their Website twice daily...Does it really matter which one was updated faster? And I know for a fact that they went to hotels and were telling people as they walked by regarding updates, because I did it personally...To expect them to communicate how everyone individually wants them to is asking a little much...It would take a team of people to Tweet, Tumblr, Facebook, email, text, call, update answering machines, google+, myspace, website updates, etc...Facebook does not require personal information except for an email address and you can get alerts to your phone just like your email.
I think suggesting new ways of communicating is great, but it should be done in a positive way. And remember, all of the people trying to get the important information out to you, are volunteers.
