CK has been getting a lot of attention lately, which is very nice.  It all started when I was invited to join a social networking site for social enterprises.  That particular site, I won’t mention any names, didn’t turn out to be too good, but I thought I’d have a look around and see if there are any others.

I found Changents and set up a profile.  I’ve been hesitant to promote myself and have, for the most part, avoided writing too much about myself on the CK blog.  There have been times however when I have wanted to write about issues, problems, observations and thoughts related to CK but not relevant to the business.  After exploring Changents I thought it would be a good place for discussing the more me-related part of the CK story.  It does a great job of linking the story to the person and giving room for both sides.

The wonderful people behind the site, liked the CK story so much, they pitched it to some of their partner sites and this has resulted in two feature articles which you can see here and here.  The second story was re-posted on KI-Media, a major outlet for Cambodia news.  All very exciting, but even more so as the extra exposure has let to a huge increase in hits on the CK website, more orders and most importantly, more connections to potential partners.

I don’t think I’ll shy away from social media as I have in the past.
