It’s interesting. Can you count how many sites have the word ‘forum’ in them these days? — particularly the one’s that deal with System Center products. They’re really increasing.
How about popular events like “IT Forum”?
Is the word “forum” that popular? We’ve always used it, long before there were other systems management sites or blogs. We supported systems management when computers still came with floppy drives. Remember that?
Is myITforum.com that popular that hanging the word ‘forum’ off a domain name or event will give the site an immediate level of validity?
We take this as a compliment. Thanks, folks!
In this same vein, I’ve been approached by companies recently who want to find ways of interacting more with the myITforum.com community. Mind you, not by getting involved or interacting – the way you would think a company would do — but by creating their own community, site, or blog and then asking to find ways to aggregate information between myITforum.com and the new community. It’s basically, take an already established, loyal, and active community, and find ways of integrating it into a brand, new, shiny, community objective.
It’s almost like Rent-a-Community.
Maybe, myITforum.com should become like a TimeWarner cable of the Internet for community.
Just thinking…
