Hi I would love to have the same information that Louise requested.

Im currently doing research on Dell and as an Big supporter i would really appreaciate it. Keep up the great work :)!!!

Could you please e-mail me how " Michael Porters 5 forces" influence Dells strategy and what Dell does to counteract these?

Just looking for information and direction, and it may be of interest to others.

Our community has an active computer club that meets 4 times per month, twice on specific subject presentations, and twice for helpful Q & A.

Does Dell support clubs like ours through making presenters available to make various subject presentations at the meetings? It's a good opportunity for community relations and getting Dell consumer product information out to the communities.

Regards,

Jim

Thank you for being so forth-coming in your strategy. It's rare companies ever do this, and it brings me closer, knowing you're sharing with us.

Can I take this oppertunity to remind Dell it has been mentioned several times on IdeaStorm that Dell really needs to merge all of it's forums and web sites and wikis and knowledge bases into a single contiguous web site. That way single sign-on is just a matter of fact. No jiggery-pokery required.

Surf around the web and take a look at how it's done else where. You don't even need to surf far to see an excellent example. The Ubuntu site is something along the lines of what Dell should be aiming for.

Michael Dell is lucky to have Lionel.

Congrats to Social Media Team.

I'm hoping other companies catch up with you.

These are so the right areas to focus on. I'm curious, how Dell plans to engage to help people with the cultural shift around the new proficiency around sharing and collaboration.

Also, to what extent is Dell interested in adding dialogue to purchasing? Technology is a considered purchase and being able to add comments or engage with each other around products can be a highly valuable activity.

You guys are rocking it. As an ex-Deller, I'm totally biased and rooting for you guys to lead the way. :)
