    Today, I'm thrilled to announce HiveLive's first ever Community Design Challenge!

    When preparing for our AlwaysOn presentation (today!), we came up with this crazy idea.  As you know, I've got a product design background, and a "DP" (design project) seemed like a great way to demonstrate the flexibility of our LiveConnect Community Platform.  We will take the design challenge ourselves:  you get to challenge us with your community ideas.

    We will rapidly design and build a custom-fit community for the company with the most intriguing business challenge.  I invite you to tests the limits of our design skills and the flexibility our platform, as well as your imagination.

    If you have a unique and compelling concept for an online customer community, but are frustrated by the limitations of the rigid point-solution paradigm (blog + wiki + forum) presented by most community platforms, please enter our Community Design Challenge.  If you win, we will bring your concept to life, and provide free consulting, training, and hosting.

    A great panel of thought leaders in social software + design thinking + business innovation will help us choose the winner:
