Kiosk History GoKiosk

As near as we can tell in Kiosk History the Gokis.net was the first spinoff of kiosks.org and it started in 2003. Initially used as backup archives for published news on kiosks.org. Kiosks.org was started in 1997 before being sold.Thanks to The Wayback Machine the content can be retrieved.

Gokiosk.net was a second iteration started in 2005. Updated Movable Type blog database. MT was precursor to Wordpress.

The Gokiosk group was organized to help support individuals and companies who are involved in the kiosk and self-service industry (or have been at some point).  If you are a member of LinkedIn then you can join the group if you have spent any serious time in the industry. That would go for someone who worked for Factura back in the 80s, or someone who worked for Target Corporation (people who bought and deployed kiosks from Factura originally).
The group has close to 1000 members and within that group is subset of noted management board members.
Here are the 2011 Kiosk Industry group mananagement board members.
Here are our original charter Kiosk Industry management board members and we say thanks.
