I also welcome the links to the articles (although it seems the links to the older articles are now broken). With social knowledge networks, both you and Jeff seem to have hit on something that resonates well with the broader social media crowd. @Andy R
Thanks for stopping by. I also welcome the links to the articles (although it seems the links to the older articles are now broken).

With social knowledge networks, both you and Jeff seem to have hit on something that resonates well with the broader social media crowd.

I founded a company called Social Knowledge a few years ago. We operate a small network of niche online communities that are all authority sites on their topic. The members are typically well informed on the topic and come to our communities to exchange knowledge with other like minded folks. The active members are typically influencers among their peers (online and off line). You might find our site www.DiscussCooking.com to be interesting with your past work with Kraft. It would be great to see manufactures connect with consumers in a more social way. Here are some interesting articles about forums and communities that you might find interesting. http://www.socialknowledge.net/?page=news (FYI - I hope you don't regard this as spam. I felt bad adding the links but thought you might find them interesting. If you don't allow them, please feel free to remove them from my comments) Your article is very interesting.
