Getting Forum Content

Verizon just sent me a customer survey, which I completed– it was just 2 questions. Once I’d finished it I was asked for my permission to use my comments on Verizon forums and to customize my name for display purposes. Novel way to populate a forum, don’t you think?

Forum content, Twitter feeds, blog posts, discussion boards– these social content machines are being rapidly assimilated into contemporary search results as part of efforts to synthesize “real-time” with static results and content. So when a user/customer goes online to search for various Verizon topics, he or she may see a variety of reuslts, ranging from those delivered via the main Verizon website to those delivered via Verizon Forum.
