Topics for Show #2:
- Our inspiration to get into the business of online communities
- What would you say to a marketing manager if you had 5 minutes to talk about online communities?
- The controversy surrounding Microsoft sending bloggers free Ferrari laptops loaded with Vista.
It's my distinct pleasure to announce the appearance of a new podcast on the web. We are a group of three who share an interest in online communities in the context of business, plus all things related (and perhaps the occasional tangent).
I am joined by two talented and experienced fellows:
- Chris Carfi, CEO of Cerado, Inc. and editor of the Social Customer blog.
- Jake McKee, Lead Samurai of Big in Japan and blogger at CommunityGuy.com (Jake is our trusty moderator)
In our first show we focused on reputation systems, Joost and issues that businesses are facing in manipulating or remixing user generated content. (Listen to it now)
