effective and cost-effective (this coming from a USA perspective, of
course).
This is important since most people from MySpace is NOT from the US so the
demographics my vary. What about orku in Brasil/India, or Jaiku in North
Europe. Or even qq in China. Friendster is very strong on Philipines,
Thailand and Malasia while Beebop is more strong on Australia-NZ.
So should we actively build a campaing to ride this international social
networks as a structure strategy to promote OOo? I think is a good idea
but I would love to have some more thought develop on the strategy and the
message. Mantaining this groups is also a big challenge.
Facebook group is there, the members are there, but there is no
communication on the forum as much as I would like to see. Another thing
is promoting from the OOo to this groups, is there a benefit on creating
banners telling our OOo users that we are also available on
Facebook/Friendster/MySpace etc etc?

I think some sites would be much better targets than others. And while I
think Second Life is interesting, I don't think it (or MySpace) would be
very helpful for OOo promotion. However, Facebook has a different
audience and is perceived differently, so I think if any social
networking site would work, it's Facebook.
Further, Facebook's large cadre of students is a great audience for
general OOo messaging. I have always thought students are one of the
markets where our advertising and promotional efforts will be most
effective and cost-effective (this coming from a USA perspective, of
course).
Thanks,

Also, we should consider a sponsored Facebook Group or other
Facebook-based advertising. Apple has one specifically targeting
students, and has built up over 400,000 group members. (We do have a
free group already, "OpenOffice.org Users", which might be enough.) Or
perhaps some other types of ads on Facebook.
I like the idea of targeting social networks like Facebook.
Cheers,

This idea was proposed some time ago for Second Life and having an OOo
building there. But there was not much support mostly because there is
not
many second lifers from the OOo community. I have mixed feelings about
this since I was very supportive of OOo 'peripherial sites'. However i
wont feel very proud of a MySpace page for Otto. :)
