One question that's not been asked so far - is SameShow actually a Web 2.0 application? If not, one has to ask whether it has any more place in a Classroom 2.0 forum than, say, a new brand of cheese?

So, we do have <a href="http://www.classroom20.com/group/creativevendorcollaborationclearinghouse">a vendor "group"</a> already that Skip Zilla created, but I don't think anybody really uses it. Part of that is because anyone can create a group, so there are so many that I haven't promoted them as a place to go. (They also serve to "hide" really good discussions which I would rather everyone had access to.)<br />

We've really had very few issues of this type. I think that's pretty amazing.

I feed the forums into my RSS reader. There is a great flow of information through this ning. I do agree that I'm looking for teacher interaction and not sales pitches. It can be hard enough to keep up with the real interactions. I've already benefited from advice from others here.<br />
<br />
It seems like you were able to contact the vendors and things worked out all right. It could get cumbersome for you to start deleting spam type posts if it becomes a barrage. Would a vendor forum make sense or is…

Hi, everybody<br />
<br />
Thanks for all your comments and understanding on this issue.<br />
I would like to say, it is a foolish mistake.<br />
<br />
And Steve, it is impressive to read your further explanations.<br />
Infomative and easy to understand.

I agree with Ian.<br />
We got so many spams in our email, and we won't need more here.<br />
I like this place, which gives us a nice platform to communicate about the Web 2.0 and its use in education.<br />
I'd say if the posting rules of the community can be more easily reached, for example: put the rues at the posting page, the non-proper materials would be less.

I'm glad there was "dialogue" and it goes to show that it is best to deal with things of this nature upfront (but in a civil fashion).<br />
<br />
I have always thought there should be a place for those with honest business related proposals or even just other blogs/wikis/communities, promoting their wares. It is all about the free spread of information to me...... So why can't their be a particular thread or box for all these kinds? If they don't post there, they are kindly deleted and told where to…

Impressive all-round I'd say. A good exercise in community problem-solving/conflict resolution. Might make a nice paper ("Web 2.0 and its implications for rapid and effective decision-making") for somebody notching up research points!

I agree with Ian. Thanks for addressing this head-on. I once listened to the founder of Fed Ex talk about mistakes, and how they discovered when they fixed a mistake that their customer satisfaction was actually higher than for a customer where there were no problems. Not an excuse for making mistakes, but a testament to the power of how much people appreciate making things right.<br />

I left your comments up 1) because I wanted to give us a chance to look at them as a part of this discussion, and 2) because while it might have been appropriate for me to remove them, I believe this kind of a resolution is much better (and serves as an example in the future, since it makes sense that we would model collaboration and cooperation). I also harbor the hope that CR 2.0 can be a place where the interaction with vendors is "natural" and where the emphasis is on contribution and participation, and not "selling." Seems to me that there can be real benefit on both sides: participants have a chance to interact with creators and to influence how products develop, and vendors get access to a passionate group that cares about educational technology. To do so, we agree to leave traditional "selling" tactics outside of the network...<br />
