[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 2434"] Well since I also am a person that works with marketing I felt that I wanted to jump in and give my view on this. I do not agree, marketing is something that is done activly and to assume that you can create a section on the homepage that says pr/marketing or what ever generates traffic is in most cases not true. If you want to reach out with an application like this you will have to proactivly find that userbase and virtually drag them in here. If Media Portal would be a startup and had a budget I would agree that the importance of a marketing section (it is still important but for other reasons). If you ask yourself and all the people that have come to this site I am certain that many would anwere that they got here by either word of mouth or by reading about MP in another forum. At this point that is the way to grow. I have never received an email with something like that attached and therefor I am a little sceptic to that statement. I agree that many people download indeapth information for viewing or that a company use it to send via email if they do campaign activities but at this point we are not there. First of all that is something that you could focus on if you where to get investors interested in the project. During my years in a global company I found out that these kind of things are important to talkers while the doers don't care. I concider myself a doer in certain areas and I really don't care if people know who I am for real. I am fairly certain that it doesn't matter. My take on a application like this is that the most powerful marketing you can do is to have an appication that is interesting. However, nothing like this comes for free offcourse and if you want to market it activly in an highlevel way (banners on member pages etc not included) you need to have a dialoge with the channel that writes about information like this. I am sure that you would get really far by sending out information on a weakly basis to this type of sources. My 2 cents, Samsonite [/QUOTE]
