Al,
Thanks for the great advice. Perhaps others might have specific
suggestions on which tables "consumers" or Internet users/content
developers should send their requests for "solutions."
It is clear that Netscape, Microsoft, and others are keen to provide
technical solutions for a set of electronic commerce needs. I see
many of those needs as similar to community building needs, but I'd
like to target my messages to the right people in the right places.
So who at Microsoft, Netscape, ... should be contacted about issues
in this area?
