Yamaha Canada Releases "Yamaha Sled Talk"

[Yellowknife]

Yamaha Canada has been working on a new project.

The attached link will take you to <http://snowmobiles.yamahablogs.ca/>
'Yamaha Sled Talk', a brand-new blog for snowmobilers to speak
directly with Yamaha Canada on many different subjects as defined in their Terms of Use.

The whole concept of a 'corporate blog' is to allow companies to take part
in conversations which are happening all over the internet as customers form global communities of interest, and Yamaha is committed to doing so.

Right now at this very moment there are thousands of Yamaha customers
talking about Yamaha products and dealers.

Yamaha has only two choices to make. Either they participate in the conversation at some level, or they don't - and it goes on without them.

Yamaha is not sure where this will take them but they firmly believe communication is a good thing and something that their customers will appreciate. Yamaha is very excited to be able to hear what customers think about what they're doing, and to be able to share more about Yamaha's vision with customers.

This blog is now available for the public to visit. It has not been
advertised anywhere. Please check it out, read the Terms
of Use, get a feel for where Yamaha is going and if you like what you see,
invite (send the link) to as many of your friends and associates as
you'd like. Please feel free to post the link to web-sites you might frequent
where there may be people you feel would find this interesting. Last but not
least, Yamaha hopes you will participate in the blog, ask a question, leave a
comment or just read what others have to say.

How do you post on it?

WOW. Pretty Cool.

Good Job and pretty gutsy for Chris and Yammie Canada.

you post on it by signing your email up to be a member...it isn't that clear...I know.

Then you activate your account via email, like other sites, then you don't really login, but you click on 'comments' and you can add a comment. I added one, whether you can see it or not I don't know, but Chris has to review it before it will be approved.

BRP did something like this before but within DOOTalk, and it didn't last long cause everyone got pretty irrate with things...however this site is a corporate site from top to bottom, so they have ultimate control.

If Chris manages it well, it can work very nicely. There's no doubt he'll get a lot more comments and questions that he will have to delete than answer because the public likes to jump all over these kinds of things in a negative fashion.

Very impressed that Chris and YMCA would attempt this. I hope that it all works out!
