On Thursday, October 30th I am speaking on a panel at the Social Media Strategies Conference in San Francisco, CA. The panel that I’m on is:

    Don't forget your private communities! I hope all is well, Shashi.
  • Hi Diane,

    You bring up a good point . Yes we have been using private communities like Communispace for a long time which got mentioned in the book GroundSell by Charlene Li and Josh Bernoff. That has been very valuable for us in terms of user interaction.
