"What's Everyone Talking About?" Update

Here is a quick summary of what's happening in the Community now:

New Idea Exchange
We launched a new Idea Exchange in early July: 'What government data would be useful to you, as a small business owner?' This Idea Exchange will run until August 4, so you still have time to submit your thoughts and vote on ideas. You can read about the results from the last Idea Exchange here.

Hot Topics

• The Starting and Registering board is abuzz with posts from online business owners, including a discussion on LLCs.
• Self-Employed and Home-Based business owners are another web-saavy bunch, with lots to say about driving traffic to their websites, online business scams, and social networking. Other hot topics of late include an interesting thread on converting artwork into a business.
• But perhaps the most discussed thread (with nearly 50 posts!) is going on in the Other Business Issues board. See what the Community is saying about using Twitter for small businesses and add your thoughts to the growing conversation.

You can share your experiences by replying to these hot topics, or by creating your own thread. Keep the discussions going and we'll post another update soon!
