Subject: [TN] FW: New interface for Technet - "last chance" to comment










I previously sent this to you on July 6 and not much response but from
the few
that did, it sounds like you are happy with the current Technet
interface
(although you would like e-mail addresses taken out of the FROM line).
Just
wanted to give you one last chance to let me know your thoughts before
our
internal team meets at the end of July.

Thank you!

Kim

Subject: New interface for Technet - your comments?

One of the comments I received asked if participants could post profiles
and
pictures of themselves. Unfortunately, this is not feasible on the
software we
are currently using. However, we have been experimenting with Groupsites
and
would like to offer this functionality to our Technet participants. Of
course,
the drawback would be that everyone would have to move to a new
platform.
However, Groupsites offers personal profiles including biographies and
photos,
easy searching, file posting and photograph posting, plus the
opportunity for
better group communications. Consider it like a LinkedIn or Facebook,
specifically set up for you for free. Posts can be sent to you in digest
form or
in real time.

Here are some example sites for you to look at (I've linked directly to
the
discussion pages so it's not too overwhelming):

http://capitolgreenroofs.groupsite.com/discussion/forums
http://champions.groupsite.com/discussion/forums
http://usergroup.doubletake.com/discussion/forums

One of my concerns is whether companies are allowing access to sites
like this.
I'd especially like any comments on people who can't click through these
links.
The site would be set up by IPC and would be accessed through our site,
although
you would have to create a free user account on Groupsites to
participate.

I know there was discussion about attracting people from other countries
to
Technet. I don't know what this would do specifically but a more
up-to-date
interface offering more functionality would certainly attract more
participants,
especially among younger people entering the field.

Your comments on this idea are extremely welcome, either here on
Technet, to me
personally or through a very tiny survey I set up at:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=x3PS7MISHrXKFlhQPczCJA_3d_3d.

If we do proceed, we would like to have some volunteers comment on the
set up of
the new site and to test it out. You can volunteer through the survey or
to me
directly.

Thanks so much for your feedback. And, please note - this is not a "done
deal" -
if the group hates this idea, we won't do it without your approval.

Kim
