I think of User Forums as different than blogging. In the Cadence New Media model, however, they've tied them together. I'd prefer to see rules like Synopsys has, that: a) anyone can read a blog posting or a forum posting, b) anyone can leave a comment on a blog, and c) you must register to leave a comment on a forum. Lastly, all user-generated content must conform to the TOS/guidelines setup by the community manager, or risk being taken down. As for the proprietary nature of chip design, you are right. If I'm Intel and my chip isn't simulating correctly, I don't want to blab that to the user community. Those type of conversations need to remain behind the firewall using the more traditional form of customer support. User Forums don't replace customer support, they augment it. Great points, Joel.

As for the number number of registered users, we may want to look behind the 'curtain' a bit. There may have been an automatic registration process for some of the very low cost (OEM) products with the intention to deflect 1:1 individual support costs from traditional support resources to a facilitated, what I call a "Customer self-help" resource through the forum. From an operational efficiency perspective a very smart move if the organization can enlist the customer community itself to answer questions from other customers lowering the net customer support costs. I'm sure this is the case with Jerry G. leading the poster list. What can I say about Jerry (he worked for me a one point in time....) is that is one of the best among the technical support team at Cadence and has a great passion to helping customers be successful. "Atta-boy" for Jerry indeed! Look for his continued leadership within the Cadence Forums. There a unique set of issues that I'm sure both Synopsys and Cadence share as they explore this first step in applying social media at the corporate level. These involve the potential of forum contributors exposing sensitive or competitive information. It's nice to have a vehicle where the community can share and help itself, but if I'm the designer of a leading edge chip or system and a competitor is having a problem, it's really not in my best interest to help my competitor nor is it my company's best interest to speak to openly about some of the techniques and issues I may be dealing with. So the technology presents a highly contentious situation that will be interesting to monitor as new media continues to become adopted. To be really successful this new media will require a give and take by all participants but it will be very interesting to assess what that net give/take ratio might be in a highly competitive environment compared to a non-competitive community.
