Get social with Open Port

Posted by Intel_Mike Jun 30, 2009

With the popularity of social networking tools becoming more widely used, we've made the decision to expand the Open Port presence in an attempt to not only keep up with what's happening and where people are hanging out but also to connect the members of the Open Port community with each other in new and engaging ways.

 

That's why we've started a number of social media profiles to connect with interesting people and distribute Open Port content where they are, hopefully prompting them to come back here to Open Port and further engage in the conversation.

 

open-port-avatar.jpgTo that end you can follow us on Twitter, subscribe to our profile onFriendFeed, see what we find interesting on Delicious and become a fan of Open Port on Facebook.

 

We hope these profiles will be useful to all of you. Those sites and networks have a ton to offer in the way of two-way conversation, which is why we're using them.

 

If you're an Open Port community member and are on those networks we'd encourage you to share your profile in the discussion forums so that not only can we connect with you but so that other members of the community can find you there as well.

 

 

thanks

Mike (Open Port Community Admin)

Imagine for a second your a large corporation and you are going to spend millions of dollars to get a well crafted message out to prospective customers, then you decide to fire the copywriters and turn the site into one big brainstorming session where people express ideas like.

 

*"My ideal Utopia is when everybody is using Mac computers and finally everything works better in a Windows free world."

 

*"IT Utopia means that everyone can hack everyone, thereby hackers become useless. "

 

*"Sorry IT guys, but my idea of IT Utopia is no more IT."



Welcome to Intel's IT Utopia site. As one poster observed, "Interesting, like a faceless Twitter...". Thus this is not your typical Intel campaign. Companies like Intel spend lots of time and resources to protect and manage messages around a brand. And campaign sites are usually where marketing excersize these resources with great delight and great control.

 

However with the success of site's like Open Port and a growing online trend for IT customers to seek out support and information on online forums, Intel is hoping to be part of the conversational trend.

 

So while Intel is promoting products and techologies, I think some of the real there, there is that Intel is spending time and resources to integrate voices of the community within the campaigns.

So my advice for those who feel their voice is lost in small little corner of an IT chat room, go to http://www.intel.com/itopia and speak up.

Veodia streamed all panel discussions during Office2.0 in SF last week. Cool service, you can sign up for a free trial and start video blogging.

 

Here's a session of the panel discussion Intel joined with WebEx, SAP, and Leverage Software at Office 2.0 to discuss Online Communities and our strategy with Open Port. Coolest part, during my introduction I asked how many people were blogging... half the room raised hands (submit a name to start the video)

Taking it to the next level at IDF! On September 18th at 3pm we use Ustream to embed a live stream with chat within IT@Intel
