I hadn't seen that. Glad to know most are spending less than a million to see such low adoption rates. I'm not down on online communities. Hardly. They are wonderful, but as long as companies build them as a way to increase the bottom line of their existing products and service, we'll continue to see the very low adoption and retention rates.
