Okay. Here’s a new social network for animal agribusiness. What do you think? Good idea? It looks like it has internal special interest groups. Is this going to be of sufficient value/benefit to draw in significant participation? Although I’m a big fan of social networking I have wondered how these types of online communities are faring. I’ve seen some that are very active on some very niche topics. Will producers who are involved in Facebook utilize more than one social network? If you’re a producer what are your thoughts? Have you become a member of AnimalAgNet? If so, what do you like/not like?
WATT has announced the launch of www.AnimalAgNet.com, an online social networking community for the global agribusiness industry. The site is created for producers, processors, animal health and nutrition professionals, animal feed manufacturers, marketers and others working in any phase of the global poultry, pig and animal feed sectors.
Animal agribusiness professionals are encouraged to visit AnimalAgNet.com and join a community of their interest, view breaking industry news, ask questions, share ideas, network and/or catch up with their peers, or post photos and videos. Groups exist for poultry production, regulatory issues, animal health, feed trends, environmental issues and pig production. Community members are invited to start their own blog, form their own groups and invite their peers to join.
“AnimalAgNet is designed as a place for animal agribusiness professionals to network and share knowledge in a safe, business-only environment,” said WATT Vice President of Content Bruce Plantz.
