What is InformDorm?
InformDorm is a collection of niche communities or social networks. Each niche community is called a channel and is lead by an established experts, referred to as Channel Authorities, in the field that participate in and contribute to the Channel community.

Channel Authorities are also merchants. The ultimate purpose of InformDorm is to promote the selling of products by Channel Authorities by promoting the Channels themselves and building communities based around the topics related to the products being sold.

InformDorm also provides extensive infrastructure, such a speaker bureau services for scheduling live events. Additionally, InformDorm continually engages the community to keep the members active and informed of new products and specials. By combining resources through promoting Channels as opposed to promoting individual merchants, efficiencies of scale can be achieved to the benefit of all.

Membership is free and members can join multiple channels. Profile pages, similar to Facebook are provided for members to use, as well as online forums that they can participate in. One defining service offered to members not available anywhere else is the ability of members to submit their own questions to the panel of authorities for a specific Channel and receive personal answers that are shared with all.
