Hi Good People of Virtual Facilitation Land!

?

The folks at Social Pinpoint this morning gave me and a colleague a demo. I am not writing to advocate or promote it in anyway, I’m in no way connected to this company or product. I’d just like to hear if anyone here has used it, and if so what’s your opinion?

?

?

Social Pinpoint features include mapping, ideas walls, survey, forums,? vents (not sure what this is), stakeholder management, email campaigns (automatic reminders, mail chimp style).? It’s being pitched as a one-stop-shop rather than using a suite of platforms Mural, PollEv.com, SurveyMonkey, GoogleForms, Wikimapping, Wix, Weebly, etc.? Seemed like a good interface, especially the idea wall and mapping app, and backend comment management, data assembly/org.

?

Note, their town halls/conferencing run on a Zoom platform, so you’ll need a Zoom Pro acct in addition to their plan. But that’s good news to some degree, as they are not competing to outdo the videoconferencing pros: Zoom, GoTo, Webex or MS Teams (debatable if pro). Their value add is a suite of engagement tools that can run on Zoom (good for Zoom fans out there).

?

Its supposedly brand new to the US, but has been in Australia ten years. Anyone have any beta on this engagement suite from Down Under?

?

Very best,

?

Jason
