Talking about your own social network with Pringo CTO

Monday, December 31st, 2007

The trend right now is to create your own social network for your business. Why do that? A few reasons. First, it lets you build better relationships with your customers. Second, you can add value onto your products or services by having a community that’s supporting each other and
showing each other how to take your product or service further. Third, you might already have a community (like a newspaper or football team does) and you need a place for that community to hang out together. Anyway, here Pringo’s founder and CEO, Harvard Young, and President Gary Hall talk about the social networking business and how Pringo helps businesses with their social networking needs.
