    Your idea holds merit.

    Let say you are thinking of selling hot dogs. If you could set up your stand in a park over a sunny long weekend me thinks you got customers. A vendor having a forum with someone to ensure content is up to date and relevent hosted in a tech playground sounds like something that might work. 

  • It sounds like they could achieve some of those objectives by leveraging the element14 base and expanding their involvement. Manufacturer specific forums are okay, but I would rather they use an umbrella forum like element14. It takes a critical mass of activity to keep members engaged and repeatedly visiting a forum. The variety on element14 ensures more frequent content updates and more traffic and a more consistent audience than a single-supplier forum can achieve. I tend to only visit manufacturer's forums when I have a specific question for the manufacturer. I would see much more of any manufacturer if their activities were available on element14. The trick is only how to structure their content in the element14 framework to make it interesting for members.
