As you mentioned, our goal is to help associations understand who their customers are on the social web. Our product is only 14weeks old and we continue to learn what our customers are trying and hoping to do with it. Our vision is to provide messaging tools that find content that's hyper relevant to your customers / prospects / partners. Once we analyze the social profiles deeper (ex: Twitter streams / LinkedIn) we'll be able to make these recommendations with better accuracy. If any of your readers have any questions, just leave a comment and I'll be sure to check back frequently. Have a great day!

I'll confess, I signed up to Gist and basically still have no idea what to do with it. I see Flowtown as completely different in terms of potential use for associations and nonprofits - more like a one-off import to get a snapshot of where their stakeholders are. Obviously there's more functionality, messaging and reporting that could be used over time, but all the groups we work with already have ways of communicating with their members. I think this is more useful to help them choose what public social media outposts they should focus their efforts on, particularly because EVERYONE has concerns about the resource issue for managing am organizational social media presence. I also think it might prove interesting in terms of what orgs THINK they know about where their people are and what the actual reality might be. Here's an example from our SocialFish point of view (though we aren't an association of course!) - we have a pretty large email list of people subscribed to our e-newsletter, which we write as short and sweet summaries and tips. If we plugged it into FlowTown, and it showed that the bulk of those people were on Facebook, it might mean to us that it was worth providing slightly different content to our Facebook page than what we have right now, in order to cater to that group. I really hope lots of groups try Flowtown and let us know what results they get! Hi Danny, I think Gist is more like a CRM – for an individual to manage their contacts across social networks.
