100 LinkedIn Users within 7 days

Welcome to my SupportCentralEnthusiast blog. I am still unsure of where this blog will take us, but know that I need an outlet for my SupportCentral passion. You may ask why am I am not using SupportCentral to blog? Here are the reasons why:

  1. I need to respect GE Spirit and Letter and would feel uncomfortable blogging on company property (SupportCentral) and during company business hours.
  2. I want to keep in touch with SupportCentral buddies who have now left GE and make new contacts with SupportCentral users in companies outside of GE. If this in anyway promotes interest and assists GE in selling this great tool to more companies …. more power to all of us! (and no I am not in Sales, nor get any commission for selling the tool)
  3. Lastly and probably what really inspired me was the fact that the LinkedIn group that I set up less than 2 weeks ago has received over 100 requests for membership. I was tempted to ask each user why they wanted to join or what they were expecting out of the group … and thought a blog would be a non-intrusive way to communicate to this group.

I hope this blog becomes a way SupportCentral geeks like me can share best practices and brainstorm how to best utilize this great tool. If there is a better blog and/or a better way to get the SupportCentral LinkedIn group connected, please let me know!
