Views from the Hills by R. E. Stevens, GENESIS II (The Second Beginning) E-Mail views@aol.com

It's New, It's Relevant and it could be fun and informative

Over the years my Views distribution has grown beyond the days of "hand feeding" each copy into the FAX machine.  Today, with a 28.8k modem, it takes about seven hours of line time to transmit a Views.

I enjoy the many calls I get each week about how I would approach a market research problem.  However, the questions are getting much more difficult to answer (or maybe the mind is failing).  all too often I am having to resort to "I don't know the answer, but let me see if I can find someone who can give us the answer."

Solution:  How about a web site where market research professionals can discuss problems, solutions, new ideas and anything else to do with our profession?  Too often I find those sites that are sponsored by a market research agency only want to sell their services.  Herb Sorensen has agreed to put together a forum of a different breed.  Hey, I'm retired and I feel it would be more than I want to bite off to create such a site.  Yes, Herb does have a company but he is setting up the web site for both client and service companies.  All are invited to participate with few restrictions, mainly we address problems and do not actively sell services.

The site is up and running at http://www.MR-online.org.  Just click on Forum under the Discussions category.  We know it will be slow at first until we get used to the idea of asking our peers for help or presenting new ideas.  But it should be fun.

IMPORTANT:  This site is being set up for the user.  Our objective is to stimulate conversation between professionals.  If for any reason such as "Security" or just that you do not want to be identified with your questions, enter your name for the particular article as anonymous or some other discreet name.  Also do not enter an e-mail address.  However, if your particular entry does not pose a risk, we would like you to use your real name and e-mail address.  We would like to know who is using the site.

I look forward to seeing on this new site.
