IKEAFANS tops the list of successful customer communities...

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!

Re: IKEAFANS tops the list of successful customer communities...

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,
Doreen

Re: IKEAFANS tops the list of successful customer communities...

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.

Re: IKEAFANS tops the list of successful customer communities...

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?

I am so glad to see IKEAFans mentioned in the mainstream of the internet! Kudos to you, Susan and James, for having tremendous business instincts coupled with integrity and a commitment to quality. You set a terrific example for web enterprise!
