Deaf Professional Happy Hour, acronym for DPHH, their official website launched nationally today (as of Wednesday, July 9th, 2008). The site is sponsored by Viable, INC. This site provides the list of upcoming DPHH schedule events in selected hosted cities, if you're happen to be in luck to live nearby. After DPHH social event is over, the picture album arrives DPHH.com to fill up the spotlight of memories and of course, our Deaf nation is reading this.
I hail from Pittsburgh and was second generation of DPHH Pittsburgh committee back in 2004-2005. DPHH Pittsburgh been through three generations of committees in decade of 2000s. Pittsburgh also have deaf social club, Pittsburgh Association of the Deaf, which is somewhat similar to DPHH, debated each of their advantages and disadvantages about two organizations for Deaf socials in same city.
DPHH Pittsburgh is currently alive and kickin' in 2008, and it is hard to believe for everyone to know if website has lived up, hardly to seen in *cough* MySpace site *cough* (should I say unprofessional site?), and make announcements through Yahoo Groups - Pittsburgh Deaf Events for notification about DPHH future events in Pittsburgh.
Since DPHH.com of 2008 just launched today with limited cities, let's see if DPHH Pittsburgh could join the network list, and I think it will be great opportunity to share our hosted city in DPHH.com official site.
I have few couple question in my mind about DPHH.com and its future: How long are Viable sponsoring this? Who and what will be responsible carrying the official website of DPHH.com legacy? Will DPHH.com continue to strength and organize? Only the time will tell.
