What Every Smart Company will soon have…
February 17th, 2007
The tone on this blog has been rather negative lately, I admit, but I generally rant about the things that bother me not about those that don’t. 
However, I really do have to give Salesforce.com credit for this one: IdeaExchange is one incredibly great idea (pun intended), and every smart company either will or soon should do the same.
I’ve been meaning to blog about this since they first released it but Mark Mangano’s post over at SalesforceWatch.com just reminded me to get off my duff and write about it. By the way, another company now doing the same that Mark didn’t mention is Yahoo Suggestions.
Now if Salesforce.com will just listen to those submitted ideas… 
Hey Mike,
How did the meet up go? was there much interest? Wonder if it would be worth doing the same here in the UK.
Cheers
Gareth.
Hi Gareth. No meetup yet, not enough people. And a different meetup I organize (www.atlanta-web.org) has almost 70 members by now. Not sure if I’m going to continue it, but YMMV.
Sorry to leave this as a comment — please feel free to delete it once you’ve read it. I wanted to let you know that Seeking Alpha has an RSS feed for Salesforce.com news and analysis, including the only free source of CRM’s conference call transcripts on the Web, that will allow you to carry a news feed for CRM on your blog. You can include it easily in your side bar using a widget, such as a FeedSweep widget.
The RSS feed URL is:
http://seekingalpha.com/by/symbol/crm/feed
It contains the headlines from here:
http://seekingalpha.com/by/symbol/crm
And feedsweep is here:

Or try any of the widgets listed here:

But Mike, we do listen !
