Social media seems to be a better channel for a constant small drip of content than posting to the front page always. All of the big news will always land on the main page, don't worry.

I'm curious, though: what would you rather we do?

EDIT: Also: "one of" your beefs? You've got a list of grievances? :P

The time lag you were seeing in the communications there was because we can't really leap in and discuss much about what some other company is doing, and there's a limit to how many times I can say, "CDP RED doesn't consult with GOG.com about its business practices, or vice versa."

And yeah, you're right. There are a lot of people who made Twitter or FB accounts and then who vanish because they don't get what they want to out of it. But our social media channels, in aggregate, have a lot of reach and let us communicate without adding a bunch of bluetext-created threads here in the forums.

I'll see about testing adding new threads here as well as all of the social media channels, though. I'm leery of making the forums a marketing operation because, well, the ecosystem we've got here is very unique. I'd hate to muck it up. ;)

I agree; CDP RED should have been more engaged with journalists and their community when that story got big. We were rather restricted in what we could say until they did, and once CDP RED had weighed in, we were at the shouting rabidly and frothing phase of Internet discourse. And at that point, well, you can wrestle a pig if you want, but the pig won't care much and all you'll accomplish is getting muddy.
