Hawaii WOMF

[Pomai]

Hawaii Threads was mentioned in today's edition of the Star Bulletin in Erika Engle's TheBUZZ business column...

Driving customer traffic by any means necessary

There are locally-focused online gathering places, such as hawaiithreads.com and food and restaurant-focused blogs such as onokinegrindz.com, tastyisland.wordpress.com and the Hawaii Restaurant Association-connected myalohavibe.com.

Many popular Web sites get that way because links get e-mailed around by one person to one or more friends, but very few of those sites -- if any -- get the back up of promotion through a television partnership.

The exception in Hawaii is womf.com, which stands for Word of Mouth Forums, for which KGMB-TV has been running commercials.

Hmmm, look who else is included in that short list!

Heh heh, kudos to you, Pomai for making the list!

I can't help but smile whenever I see HT mentioned in Ms. Engle's columns.

Re: Hawaii Threads in the News (print)

Since the original story written by Erika Engle is more about Hawaii Womf, I decided to move this thread to Hawaii Internet Media.

Has anyone from this board signed up to Hawaii Womf. It seems to be something like a blog site more than a message board. I signed up, but have not posted anything.

You can use this thread to discuss the other sites mentioned above too.

I might rename the thread to reflect that if discussion goes toward a more general Hawaii online communities discussion.
