Intel Launches its Community - Open Port

This week Intel's community site launches under the guidance of Intel'ers like Bob Duffy.  I applaud this extension of Intel's blogging site.  It has gotten over 650 "members" in a few short days.

The on-line press has also started to pick these efforts up with articles in The Inquirer (a site that my former company, VNU, owns) but I think and hope that The Inquirer is missing the big picture.

I am not a technie or system admin.  I am in the publishing and now rich media world of webcasting.  Intel is extremely relevant to me since "Intel is Inside" (not my quote by the way) nearly everything that I do, touch and experience.  I use Intel-powered computers everyday or some knowledge by-product of Intel's computing power - I am sure this green tea I am sipping now got to me by some global logistics system powered by Intel.

My point is - don't limit this community to technies.   Intel is bigger than that and my hope for this community is that it grows outside the sys admin realm into my world.
