Hello Everyone, Welcome to the Novint Community!

There are a variety of ways to keep in touch with Novint and be part of our community.

MESSAGE BOARDS
Our message boards are very active, and are growing daily. I (tomnovint, Novint's CEO) personally read and answer all message board posts, which is a very big undertaking, but which also fits with the spirit of how we are developing a very strong community, and the importance I see in it. Right now, every Falcon user can have direct access to the CEO - I hope to be able to keep this up for a long time to come (even if we eventually have to set more rules on when/how you can post, but for now it's unrestricted). I see our community as a key area to our growth in the future, which is why we put so much effort into it. If you have a question about Novint and our products, post it and you'll get an answer. I think you will find that we are particularly strong at directly sharing information with people who want to know about it. It's a valuable resource to customers and anyone interested in Novint, and the level at which we do it is very unique even in today's high tech, fast paced world.

NOVINT'S BLOG
In addition to our Message Boards, we have a Blog. If you only want to know the bigger events for Novint, and you're not as interested in the Play by Play from our Tweets and our message boards, the Blog is a good information channel for you.

TWITTER The newest method of communication we're using, that is quickly becoming a primary communication channel for us, is Twitter. One of the challenges in giving updates is finding time to both prepare information and disseminate it. I have been finding that Twitter is a good way to communicate information without a lot of overhead. Each tweet is limited to 140 characters, which keeps it short and simple and forces an natural informality that is nice for many smaller updates. It is a simple thing to pop up a twitter window and post a quick note, and I'm getting into the habit of taking daily events and progress and posting them. I think it is a good way to get ou=t lots of information, realistically, given they are so simple to post. I think it will be a great way for people who are interested in all that is going on at Novint (and also people who want some insight as to what it is like running Novint, which I think is a fun concept) to get that information. For example, when we have our weekly management update phone meeting, I'll continue to tweet the major events of the week as I get updates from Novint's staff. I also tweet on Falcon and game events, message board posts that I find interesting (a great way to keep up on what customers think about Novint without sifting through all the boards yourself), game progress (many customers want to see this info), and anything else of interest to anyone who wants to know about Novint.

To encourage more people to learn about and follow our Tweets, we are going to be giving away a Falcon in which only our twitter followers (i.e. a listed follower in Twitter) are eligible ;)
