This week I had a call with Karen Keeter and a potential pilot contributor here in New Zealand for Sametime 3D.  It was a very interesting conversation and great to hear Karen talk about what is currently delivered in Sametime 3D.

While trying to decide whether to start up a corporate blogging service for New Zealand based businesses I stumbled upon LiveWorld’s solutions.

“Community Center 2.0 is LiveWorld’s enterprise-scale social network and community platform.

Community Center offers the strongest loyalty marketing, support community and engagement network solution on the market.”

Sounds like a load of the usual marketing guff but the list of customers is impressive and the interview with the CEO below sparks interest.

This is where members of all the generations choose to use the latest tools and methods to communicate and interact. While the usage of these new tools is driven by the younger generations the number of “older” folk using the tools is also growing.
