Hey Marcus, indeed...that's a bit of VRM and SR. The power of identity and connections should reside with the user...on the other side, SRM is also a philosophy and tech platform for improving experiences and adapting to market evolution.

Great post Brian -
Reading these comments, I'd have to agree with Brandon Sutton in that Facebook is the 800 lb. Gorilla leading the way, but they are far from being a Switzerland of identity management. There needs to be an intermediary that manages this identity - OpenID is close (and getting better), but still far from being widely accepted as the platform of Identification management.

A true SRM should (would) be an agnostic profile service that the end-user controls. Let them manage and release data points to whomever & wherever they decide. That'd be the killer social app.

Yes, it is different than the Group edition. Please refresh the page: http://www.salesforce.com/crm/editions-pricing.jsp and you'll see the revised editions and pricing. Thank you!

Crazy to see the Star Wars cast out of context!!

Re: Business models that your startup can use to generate revenue

he he - no one wants to be considered a Big Boy. Point taken Marcus, and congratulation on the funding.
And your advice is sound, to not be too stuck on what one does and be unafraid to tweak it!

I think my way will end up being affiliate marketing, by creating a website/blog, and then placing home-made ads that link to affiliate marketing links.
However, I will tweak it until it works :)

Hey SamRag --
Just so you know, at the time this was written (early June), UserVoice had just announced receiving funding - but, we had been utilizing the Freemium model since December '07. We were no more 'Big Boys' than anyone else. The point is just to pick a model you feel comfortable with and execute. If it doesn't pan out right away, tweak it a bit! Treat it all as an experiment till something sticks! :)

@brianteeman -
Good to be here - Not sure what the immediate use was for, but it was inferred that it was going to be something more long term, oh well. :)

@Helio -
At least they know we're here. There's been some good integration recently with a UserVoice module for Joomla, especially Single Sign On -- check it out here: http://bit.ly/wWEFo We're pleased to be a part of the open-source community and can hope to be as much a part of Joomla as we are now with http://rails.uservoice.com and http://openid.uservoice.com

Nice to see you here Marcus. Looks like your uservoice service was only used for a specific joomla event.

Hi Marcus,

Thank you for your reply. It's shad they are not using your services. I believe it is a great product and a great way to get users feedback but in order it to work they need to advertise the service and need to update it and let know members which features they are implementing in the next release.

Let's hope they will use it more in the future.

@Helio --
Someone from Joomla created an official UserVoice page a few months back: http://joomla.uservoice.com/ but it does not appear that they are actively using our service. If you would like to request their support for this service, please email: social [at ] joomla org

Thank you,

Marcus

Re: 11 Ways To Build Killer Sites By Listening To Your Users - The Marcus Nelson Interview

Anyone who sees you at a conference should buy you a drink and talk to you
in person. (Or at least a Trader Joe's burrito.)

Hey Andrew -
Thank you for posting our chat - had a great time, and it looks like we might have struck a chord with folks. Perhaps we should do this again at a conference in the near future ;)
Take care & see you soon!

Oh yeah, to clarify, I had gone ahead and set up UserVoice, and while that sort of functionality is great for sites w/ many users for gathering feedback, I'm not as sure whether that dynamic applies to a small business w/ a limited number of clients. (Probably not)

Re: random($foo): Online Tools for A New Small Business

marcusnelson — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 18:06:00 -0000

Thanks for the mention (UserVoice). Thought you might like to know we have a free version available to all small companies looking to get instant feedback from users. Setup is a snap! You'll be on your way in minutes: http://uservoice.com/account/new

Look forward to your review!
