Does your Chamber offer proprietary information to members in the form of an email newsletter?  Is your membership excited about getting it each month?  Have you considered making your communication to your members more inclusive?  more social?

During a conversation with a local Chamber we discussed how they might increase the benefit to members by creating a combination email/RSS feed (The Chamber Feed/email) of their information to deliver to members.  Then we suggested that they allow members to insert their own RSS feed into The Chamber Feed/email.  How much more interesting would it be to read information from other members instead of from a single source?  Sounds more like a conversation?  We thought so.  Here are a few ideas:

• Idea #1: Offer a Master Private RSS Feed from all members to all members
• Idea #2: Offer a Master Public RSS Feed from all members to the public
• Idea #3: Host a WordPress MU (multi-user) blog for each member for free
• Idea #4: Create and hosted a Social Podcast (i.e. allow all members to contribute) from all members to the public via iTunes

The ideas are endless, but any association could likely benefit from social interaction via the internet.
