RELATED COMMUNITIES
ProjectVRM
ProjectVRM.org -- VRM, or Vendor Relationship Management, is the reciprocal of CRM. It provides customers with tools for engaging with vendors in ways that work for both parties. CRM systems until now have borne the full burden of relating with customers. VRM will provide customers with the means to bear some of that weight, and to help make markets work for both vendors and customers — in ways that don't require the former to "lock in" the latter.
Experience on the Edge - Paul Greenberg's CRM 2.0 podcast, runs weekly with segments on CRM 2.0 news, lists that are related (somehow) to CRM 2.0 and a discussion about customer experience via stories, innovations or methodologies that service customer strategies
VENDOR SITES
You'll note that I separately categorized vendor sites. Vendors who are on this wiki (I know there are several) are welcome to list their sites but also make a note on how you're appropriately engaged in what is a CRM 2.0 environment or activity as the note relative to the listing. Sing for your supper.
