Re: ESS CALL TO ARMS - LAUNCH DATE SEP 21st 2008

ESS CALL TO ARMS…

ESS 101 for content posting and/or to join a live discussion on the project tomorrow, sorry for the change of schedule.

Please see: www.enterprisesocialsoftware.info for more details.

We (I) need your help. We a scheduled to launch ESS in a public way on Sept. 22nd, that is less than 6 weeks away. What I need from the charter/inner circle members is 1 hour per week for the next 6 weeks. The goal is to get critical mass on the content and generate a tipping point of interest with the relevant folks.

What can you do in that time?
1. Invite others to participate – network effect in action!
2. Add content – original or a little cut & paste, your choice
a. Find software reviews and post in company
b. Case studies posted in company profile
c. Customers to company profile
d. ESS Literature & Research Reports & Whitepapers
e. Expand expert profiles
f. ESS Books
g. Events
h. Vendor Companies
i. Experts

Thanks to the new folks that have committed in the past week Jeff Molander, Doug Wright, Kenneth Knapp, Rok Hrastnik and Christy Confetti-Higgins nice to have you join us!
