Data.com group on LinkedIn promoting competitors?

[stvnsnjf]

I was looking at the data.com group on LinkedIn.  One of the few discussions that were posted there was by a person asking for help to find good data without having to spend much money.

I think that anyone who has made it to this forum page by now knows the answer to that one: Jigsaw! (oops, I mean data.com from Salesforce with leads by Jigsaw).

However, all of the comments on that discussion board led to different data providers, and none mentioned Jigsaw.  Wow!  C'mon JS.  You've got to at least promote your company within your own group!

Any thoughts here?

Group managers on LI not focused on the ball - ouch! @about 50-60K a year, you only get so much out of social media workers.

I don't think that is the case LQ, as much as it is that the person in charge of the social media is probably busy with a lot of other things.  Also, I don't think that the management staff is focused enough on the group.  My guess is that they haven't seen yet the value of their group, so just kind of let it slide by.

To have a successful group on LinkedIn, you really have to work at it.

WHAT!!! C'mon Man!!!

Probably time to shut down the group then. Sad situation. 

I don't think Linkin is a good venue for Data.com users. 

The Corner works!! The Corner is good!! The Corner produces results.

The LinkedIn group has been opened to free discussions.  Please discuss matters appropriate to the LinkedIn users who might be interested in Jigsaw.  Also please help monitor the discussions closely for the next week or two so that Kevin can block out the Spammers.

Kudos to Kevin and the Jigsaw social media staff.
