Social Media Business Council Leverages Telligent to Create New Online Member Community

Leader in collaboration software creates powerful new tool for social media community

Dallas (PRWEB) November 16, 2009 -- Telligent, a leader in community and collaboration software, announced today the launch of the Social Media Business Council’s new member community site. The Social Media Business Council, formerly the Blog Council, is a member-only, peer-to-peer community that helps large brands build successful social media programs.

Social Media Business Council members gain instant access and advice from their peers – the heads of social media at the world's largest companies. Members collaborate and share best practices in a productive, private environment.

“Our members run communities for some of the biggest companies in the world. It says a great deal about the quality of the Telligent's products, staff and leadership that they were chosen as our platform,” said Andy Sernovitz, CEO of the Social Media Business Council. “We set a high bar and could have picked any community platform, but we chose Telligent Community.”

The new Social Media Business Council Web site is an online member community that provides a platform for members to interact with one another, sharing best practice information and other valuable feedback concerning the social media challenges they face.

“Social Media Business Council is a community of peers from many of the largest brands in the world,” said Rob Howard, founder and CTO of Telligent. “The members have very specific and unique needs, making Telligent Community a great fit.”

The Social Media Business Council is a GasPedal project. GasPedal teaches word of mouth marketing to companies of all sizes, offering practical ideas, hands-on training, and supportive peer communities.
