I’m not sure how many of our readers actually go on our www.channelweb.co.uk site or are aware that we update the site several times a day with news but the online revolution is continuing in the channel.
Social networking has definitely been one of the biggest breakthroughs of 2009 and CRN is not slow off the blocks with this.
We are trying our best to get closer to our readers, but as with all these things, getting started is never an easy proposition. However, momentum is definitely picking up as more and more channel players wake up to the internet.
As well as the launch of our Channel Debate where we are asking as many channel players as possible to take part in our online debate we have now launched a CRN LinkedIn group www.linkedin.co.uk/CRN UK.
It is open to all our readers the only stipulation is that you have to be involved in the channel in some way.
We are hoping that this will be the first stage to creating an official CRN channel community, through which grievances can be aired, discussions can be held and questions answered.
You can also post your news up there for all to see and gather the thoughts of your peers.
Membership is free; you just need a LinkedIn account. We had a flurry of new members on launch day and a steady trickle from then on in but the more members we have the better it will be.
I look forward to seeing you there.
