In this ZDNet Blog entry by Dion Hinchcliffe, Twelve best practices for online customer communities, IKEAFANS makes the top of the list as successful examples of a community that formed out of the "initiative of passionate customers."

Take a read on the article and post your comments!

I want to read the blog entry but all I've got is a blank page when I click on the link. Can you check the URL and update the link ??
Thanks,

I removed the last part of the URL and read the article .. then came back and saw that you've updated the link (which works now). It is a really really good article. I wish that Dion would have mentioned more about IKEAFANS in the 12 best practices... it's wonderful to have been included as one of three successful examples.

I'd love to find a way to exploit some of the best practices and turn that into a way of making money for the site ... lots to think about.

I do wish this had come out after we release the new version - it's SO MUCH BETTER! Aesthetically, and hopefully functionally! We're shooting for Monday - Tuesday, maybe?
