As I said awhile ago, I’m liking the Spread Spiceworks campaign. They’re making it easy for their community to spread their enthusiasm and co-marketing Spiceworks. We speak a lot about using your community to help spread the word, so it’s fun to see it in action from one of our clients. Another aspect, as I’ve mentioned before, is the co-creation going on in the Spiceworks forums: users can suggest and then vote on features they’d like to see. The multi-user feature has been getting a lot of votes recently, for example. The nice thing about feature voting in this context is that Spiceworks has a rapid enough release cycle to actually give quick feedback to the community on which features they’ve implemented (or not). That is: when you’re suggesting a voting on a feature, you know you’re not just posting into a black-hole. [...] [...] I got my stack of Spread Spiceworks cards a few weeks ago, above.
