RE: iSociety Welcome page

I get the feeling that iSociety "came out" before it should have.  Being
that it is largely a marketing initiative I would consider it lacking.  I
still remember getting a flyer from a "moving ad" at COMMON Miami and I
immediately went out to isociety.org only to find that they didn't own the
domain yet - ouch.  When I finally figured out how to sign up for it I was
confused that I needed a COMMON Id to do so, or rather they were going to
create a COMMON Id for my iSociety membership - very confusing.  Now when I
click on some links on the isociety.org page I get routed to COMMON.  Why is
COMMON putting their stuff all over everything?  And like Joe is saying, why
all the links to systemiportal.com?

I don't get it (or rather I catch small tidbits here and there). Too many
faces/facades.  But maybe they aren't trying to market to me, an iSeries
developer.

The iSociety Foundation has created a new Welcome page for iSociety. 
You can find it here: http://iSociety.org

Yeah, we noticed, Trevor.  Over 20 links, only 1 to iSociety.  Nearly all of
the rest are to System i Portal.
