Launching today, July 9th, 2012, ForumIndustry.com will provide an introspective of the online forum industry and feature current news, product announcements, market intelligence, technology insights, industry press releases, and regulatory issues as they affect the burgeoning forum industry.
As the first news publication dedicated exclusively to representing the interests of the online forum industry and its constituents, ForumIndustry.com is intended as a collaborative resource where visitors are encouraged to join the conversation. Software developers, industry insiders, forum owners, and even individual forum members are valued as contributing members of the community and are invited to post and discuss issues relating to the rapidly expanding forum industry.
Presented as an independent news publication, ForumIndustry.com's mission is to report objectively, accurately, completely, and promptly with the intent of providing industry stakeholders the market information and competitive intelligence they need to serve their customers more effectively.
While similar at first glance to Facebook, Twitter and other social media channels, online discussion forums are unique in that they foster online communities typically based on shared personal interests, avocations, or professions. Having evolved dramatically to meet the needs of tech-savvy members, top discussion forums now incorporate rich feature sets that rival the most advanced social media sites.
With off-the-charts growth projected for the online forum industry over the next few years, industry veterans ProBoards and BoardReader feel the timing is right to bring together the collective knowledge and talent of the forum industry to an ongoing roundtable discussion about the current and future state of online forums.
