We’ve all been in uncomfortable social settings. Perhaps there are a few surface conversations going on, but nobody is really revealing very much about themselves and the entire event f filled with strained pleasantries.
Do you like this kind of social interaction? Many people don’t.
Because there is a sense of anonymity in the online world of forums or message boards there is incredible growth in this medium.

Forums are the quintessential meeting place for personal networking.
As a business owner you are empowering your customers with the ability to network when you provide a forum – and the forum is primarily for their benefit, not yours. That’s not to say customers will make a mad dash to use the forum, but once the ice is broken you are allowing your customers to do what you are attempting to do – form connections.
We live in a world that is somewhat bent on disconnection. There was a time when some believed that by the 21st century we would be experiencing 20 hour workweeks. Why? Because technology would be so advanced that we wouldn’t have to work as hard.
