Over the last couple of months the guys at Motionlab have been developing the GlassTalk website and turning it into a social media website for the double glazing industry.

I’m aware that many of you are already using Facebook and Twitter to varying degrees, but the problem I’ve found is that these platforms are not industry specific.  I’ve got Heal friends who are not interested in hearing about my life in double glazing, and double glazing friends who are not interested in hearing about the charity, for example.

GlassTalk has been a real success as it has brought people together in a unique way to talk about business, but the problem has always been that the event only lasts one day!

So, we’ve developed a website where people can stay connected 24/7.

We’d really appreciate you having a look at our new website, and joining up.  It’s quite easy to use we think, but if people are struggling then we’ll create a guide for signing up and using the website.

Quite simply there’s a ‘wall’ like Facebook where people can say what they’re doing, tell jokes, share ideas, link to new products they’re developing etc, and their friends can comment.  You can choose make friends with people and unfriend them if they’re getting on your nerves.

I’m a bit worried, though, as there’s a blog section where we will be encouraging industry debate.  I might lose all my readers, and have to close this website down, but hey if its for the greater good then so be it.

And, you can sign up for the next GlassTalk event on the 27th May.

So, what are you waiting for?
