I agree with Jonathan that ...Interesting post John. I agree with Jonathan that pharma is always going to be on the back foot with its own forums due to people being wary of commercial bias versus external forums.<br /><br />Where I could see it potentially working is for pharma to host disease specific forums, but even these would work better on an external site.<br /><br />As an additional point, my view is that some kind of moderation is essential for any forum. It's not about control, but a totally unmoderated forum quickly descends into spam city (as some of the badly moderated Linkedin groups and forums show), which just means people don't go there for sensible debate.Paul Tunnahhttp://www.pharmaphorum.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550428.post-60817585382862515512010-03-05T12:37:40.046-05:002010-03-05T12:37:40.046-05:00P.S.

I also noticed that there are forum "moderators" although I am not sure how that works because when I clicked on the moderator link I had to first register, which I did. The next thing I noticed was all the personal info that I had to enter just to participate in the forums -- my home address, birth date, age, etc. That alone would stop me from joining this "community" were I a real patient. I did, however, register and I am awaiting the confirmation email, which I have not yet received after about 5 minutes of waiting.<br /><br />All in all, not my formula for a very successful SM site.PharmaGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10211557578124130640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550428.post-44711872082135212282010-03-05T10:50:39.209-05:002010-03-05T10:50:39.209-05:00Of course the fact that pharma cos want to have di...Of course the fact that pharma cos want to have discussions on their brand websites comes as no surprise to me. I did a survey a while back that showed that this was the first tactic marketers would pick if there were no rules (http://www.doseofdigital.com/2009/09/crushing-pharmas-digital-marketing-dreams/).<br /><br />Moderated or not to isn't the issue. The issue is that who cares?<br /><br />If there's a forum on a pharma brand.com site, why would I participate in that whether it was moderated or unmoderated? As I wrote in my post: "People don’t like pharma companies. Sorry, but you probably knew that. They don’t really trust pharma companies all that much either. Sorry again. So, why on earth do you think they’d want to join your community instead of one maintained by a completely unbiased third party like WebMD? Why? What’s the value? When it comes to a branded community, you simply can’t offer anything they can’t get somewhere else."<br /><br />This applies whether it's moderated or not. The reasons why a PKU.com works (pharma owned and unmoderated) is because there is no alternative for PKU. For nearly everything else, there is a neutral, unbiased, 3rd party site where you can have a discussion without "big pharma" looking over your shoulder. Don't you think this is what people would prefer to do? How come pharma companies don't seem to know this?<br /><br />General rule of thumb: The only brands that can pull off a brand.com community that has people flocking to it are the same brands that people tattoo on their bodies.<br /><br />Jonathan<br />Dose of DigitalJonathan Richmanhttp://www.doseofdigital.comnoreply@blogger.com
