# ECtel launches IRMA, probably

Israeli vendor ECtel has issued a [press release announcing the launch of its on-line ‘social network’ for revenue management](http://ectel.com/content.aspx?id=569). The Integrated Revenue Management Alliance (IRMA) claims to be the

> “industry’s most comprehensive revenue management alliance, providing easy access to resources that will improve fraud detection and prevention and revenue management.”

I would tell you more, but there was a glitch that prevented any further research… the absence of an obvious and/or working link to IRMA in the press release, on ECtel’s website, or even to be found by searching Google :( After fruitlessly looking around the internet for half an hour, the conclusion is pretty simple. For social networks to succeed, people must be able to join them.
