The idea was to set up "listening pavilions" in the top social network sites across 3 continents and to observe conversation between visitors in BC and their friends/families/fans in their respective country. Would like to chat more - you can reach me at: angele.beausoleil@cossette.com BTW - we met 3-4 years ago at an IIMA conference you keynoted - great presentation.

If the forum is public, we already have an easy way to listen. If it's private, then "listening posts" sounds a little espionage-like and makes me uneasy. I would have to hear more about the specific idea before I could offer an intelligent comment. You can contact me directly if you like.

Would like your thoughts on trying to emulate the "wild" in the form of "listening posts" inside social network communities. Could these be effective in observing true tribal/online community behaviour? Great analogy.
