2012. Salesforce launched Communities



Today, Salesforce has introduced a new service called Salesforce Communities. Currently, it is only available to select Salesforce clients and not accessible to the general public. Although it does not have its own dedicated website yet, it is likely that Marc Benioff is working towards acquiring the community.com domain. Salesforce Communities is designed to facilitate the creation of customer and partner communities. These communities serve several purposes, including providing intelligent customer support by enabling customers to help one another, fostering customer retention and loyalty through community engagement, driving sales by showcasing real customers who can interact with potential customers, and facilitating effective collaboration with partners. The service is built upon the foundation of Chatter and bears a striking resemblance to Facebook in terms of its user interface. The official launch of Salesforce Communities is scheduled for early 2013.
