Thanks a bunch for the feedback comments and for dropping by ! Welcome to <a href="http://www.elsua.net" rel="nofollow"><span style="font-style: italic;">elsua</span></a>! <br /><br /> You are certainly right that SNA can be a very powerful tool to help analise online communities and their key players who are mainly driving the community activities a great deal. And certainly the connection you make with marketing is, yet again, another useful tip on how you could make use of SNAs to help target audiences a lot better and perhaps a whole lot more meaningfully. <br /><br /> Thanks a lot for sharing your experiences as well with Idiro Technologies as I am sure there would be plenty of folks out there who would be interested in reading some more further as to how you folks are applying SNA to those online communities in order to help target them better. Thanks again for the heads up and for the feedback ! Good stuff! Hello Aidan ! Thanks a bunch for the feedback comments and for dropping by ! Welcome to elsua!

This information is invaluable to marketers as they can run more targeted and effective marketing campaigns. One company offering this service is Idiro Technologies (www.idiro.com). The findings we have made from analyzing millions of nodes/people and the billions of links between them validate the findings of sociologists that we made on much larger data sets. So, to paraphrase Kate Ehrlich, when you want to get your product out into the marketplace, it's not how much your customer spends but who they know (and influence).

Appreciated. <br /><br /> Appreciated the heads up regarding the resources and weblog from David Snowden. Actually, I have been a big fan from him for some time now and have read many of his articles back from when he was working at IBM and till now with Cognitive-Edge, including attending a couple of conferences and workshops he has been providing and I certainly agree with you that it is certainly very much worth while a read both his weblog and the resources they have put together. Something, which, by the way, reminds me that it is time for me again to update the blogroll because I can see there it is not listed when it should since it is one of my regular feed reads. Good stuff. So will update the blogroll shortly and you will find there some other interesting readings around the same subject and KM in general. Stay tuned. <br /><br /> Thanks again for the feedback and welcome to <em><a href="http://www.elsua.net" rel="nofollow">elsua</a></em>!

It does sound like a worth while investigating resource related to SNA and I must admit that I have still got to look into it more in detail but so far I like what I am seeing and I may eventually be checking things further out and get more involved. We shall see how it goes and how much time I could devote to it. Still, I really appreciate you sharing this resource over here as I am sure plenty other people would find it useful, too. So thanks for that ! Hi Steve ! Thanks a lot for the feedback comments and for dropping by ! Welcome to elsua!
