One such space is the smart ecosystem market which focused on the rich relationships between partners in various markets. For example the iPhone app store is a huge ecosystem as is Avaya&#8217;s DevConnect program. I also mentioned yesterday that TMC is partnering with experts in other areas to combine our community building technology and infrastructure with the absolute best content available.<\/p>\n<p>Our smart ecosystem industry site is called SPEC and this stands for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.specosys.com\/Default.aspx\">Smart Products Ecosystem Connections<\/a> and our partners on this initiative are Mary Cronin, professor of Boston College and Crossfire Media. Mary is a well-respected authority on the subject of intelligent ecosystems and we are thrilled to be working with her and her team.<\/p>\n<p>There is some incredible and thought provoking content coming from Mary and others and you will want to visit the Smart Products or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.specosys.com\/Default.aspx\">SPEC page<\/a> on a regular basis to stay informed.
