The goal is to gain community operator influence when taking the SWXG findings out to the world. It is not only mobile community operators which we would seek to have involved. ANY community operators which consider operating the community of consumers as their "central" business, and which other operators watch and respect, would be excellent (I know that Boeing is a private company but this is not an example of an industry influencer in this case). > If they can phrase what their needs are, it would be great to talk. > Maybe just check back in after a few months? > [1] http://www.w3.org/2000/09/dbwg/details?group=43434 [2] http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/socialweb/wiki/TopSocialNetworkingSites
