Soflow: 2004-2007

July 31st, 2007

Great conversation, great people.

Soflow is closing today. It’s a shame. Not that the Internet will notice the loss of one of the roughly 2,467,194 social networking sites that exist, but Soflow was pretty good, at least for a little while.

It was a place where advertising and marketing people of all kinds of skills and experience levels from all around the world came together to share ideas, debate, challenge and have a bit of fun. I met some of the smartest people I know on Soflow, and got involved in some genuinely fascinating and invigorating conversations there, too.

Though the moderation of the forums could occasionally be a little heavy-handed (I say let the fur fly!), for a brief time, Soflow was an excellent example of what an online community for business professionals should be. I’ll miss it.
