And speaking of marketing... Many of the users I describe above are
active on LinkedIn, but the two Foresight groups are quite dead I'm
afraid. I've been trying to become a member of both groups for
months and that's not really the way to get new users feel welcome
in the community. So my advice is taking ownership of those two
LinkedIn groups and make sure everyone trying to become a member at
least gets a proof of life
is anyone on linkedin who can handle that.
since you are obviously on there. could you handle it?
what would you need for that?
greetings, martin.
Every LinkedIn group has an owner. Per default that is the person who
created the group. This owner is the administrator/manager of the group.
The main purpose is to aprove new members, but he och she can also
aprove messages and so on. Any group can at any time be made an open
group. Then you don't have to be a member to read messages and you can
be aproved as a member automaticly. The owner also can assign rights to
other members to perform the same tasks.
Kevin Harriss is the owner of the Foresight users group and as far as I
know only he can transfer or share ownership of the group.
I would be more than happy to help in any way that I can!
Here is a link to my profile if anyone would like to add me to their
contacts:

It's a thin line between sharing information and spamming, but if those
of you that post news on the Foresight homepage or on Planet Foresight
also would post it in one of the LinkedIn Foresight groups then any
other member of that group can like that post which, if I'm not
misstaken, adds that post to the feed of every contact following that
person, which at least is all their contacts. Currently I've got 98
contacts and that according to LinkedIn links me to 2.258.053. That
seems to be quite an excessive number, but if just one of my 98 contacts
likes one of my likes then all that persons contacts will get the same
message in their feeds, and if only one of them... I'm sure those of you
with a LinkedIn account at least one time has gotten curios about a
group that one of your friends have joined or something they've "retweeted".
Tomas does an excellent job with his blogg and those posts are good
examples of what probably would be interesting reading for more people
than those actively visiting the blogg.
