More Storm Sessions and Better Promotions of Storm Sessions

I like the concept of the Storm Session / IdeaJam, however this part of the site seems to have been dead for a while. I seems that it would benefit Dell, in terms of getting people to "focus" their creative energy on a set of defined constraints as opposed to just opening up to virtually any idea at once.

There also is a definite problem when it comes to promoting the fact that a  Storm Session  in progress or about to start. I cam about this one quite by chance.

You have my email address, drop me a note a few days before a Session starts and I bet you will get more participation.

Thanks for listening.

Status update: 
This idea has been changed to Partially Implemented.  We have several storm sessions set up for the near future and are working to improve the promoting of them via social media and Dell Community sites rather than email. Thanks to robgtx for the submission.

    As opposed to email alerts to Storm sessions, how about a Storm session RSS feed or a specific Twitter hash tag?

     I'm not sure about sending out the emails unless it was a selectable option to members.  I wonder how many accounts there are on the site anyway.

    Most poster`s don`t now how to engage a Storm session. They don`t know that you have to ask a moderator to set it up. It was originally conceived for Dell to pose questions to the voters. Since there has not been much participation from Dell recently, the feature hasn`t been used.

    Three very well thought out idea submissions right out of the gate. Welcome to the community, and thanks for your posts.
