US Airline Pilots Association Digital Sabre recently completed a project for the US Airline Pilots Association (USAPA) that encompassed many different aspects, with the primary goal being to create a more interactive, functional Web site. The end result is a content-managed site that integrates a customized email management tool, the ability to complete online polling, and the capability to electronically create and send newsletters. Now, visitors can interact with more content and the Web site itself can better serve the organization and its members. USAPA represents 5,200 Mainline US Airways pilots and was founded on the principles of accountability to provide each member the benefits and controls of a truly participative organization. For more information, please visit www.usairlinepilots.orgDSS Uses BNI to Network  Business Network International has created a “Charlotte Corporate Connections” chapter.

Blogs started out as online personal diaries. But today, many businesses are writing blogs to provide commentary on a particular subject or a description of an event. Casual in nature and updated regularly, blogs are an ideal way to establish credibility within your industry. The great thing about a blog is it invites your online patron to comment on what has been written; opening an interactive forum that has the potential to produce a lively, online environment that encourages repeat visitors.
