		<description>It&#039;s amazing to see what brand fans are willing to do, in order to express their support to a brand as Ikea or Nike!</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Did they forget about their fans or did IKEA leave it up to its fans to create their own social hotspot? Wouldn’t it have been better to facilitate their fans with all materials available by IKEA?&lt;/blockquote&gt; 

As the founder and administrator of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ikeafans.com&quot; title=&quot;IKEAFANS.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;IKEAFANS.com&lt;/a&gt;, I can tell you that IKEA did not initiate IKEA Fans - they left it to us to do! Kore &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/GWgYd&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;About Us&lt;/a&gt;. In their defense, it is very difficult for a major brand to launch a &#039;fan&#039; site with integrity. 

That said, we&#039;ll take all the materials they care to share with us! We&#039;re always seeking ways in which we can work more closely with the mothership to provide what our members want. 

Thanks for the blog post! Very well written, and it&#039;s SO nice to see fan communities get the front page.
