I already have a newsletter and could consider a blog (including RSS feed); these are ways of keeping in touch with attendees/exhibitors/speakers but doesn't provide a way for attendees to interact with each each other. For the purpose of creating community interaction amongst the various kinds of participants mentioned above, I'm considering using a profile on a social networking site (ie: Facebook<http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/profile.php?id=681373396>, Myspace <http://www.myspace.com/cityofnoho>, or Ning<http://www.wholehealthexpo.ning.com/>) and attaching to the main public website for my company. Of course I can try to promote those sites anyway without attaching to my main website. Or I could create a forum or a group interactive listserv. Pros and cons? My main concern is about moderating. I want to keep forum or list focused and not allow flaming etc. However, moderating can include problems, such as customers getting mad if their post is not allowed. -- All the best, Jonathon Podolsky Producer at WholeHealthExpo.com Voice: 413.584.0010 Toll-Free: 877.WHE.EXPO Toll-Free: 877.943.3976 Fax: 413.586.5846 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
