It's often a judgment call, without one clear right or wrong answer, and it doesn't have to be a mutually exclusive choice.

Guest Post by Susan Tenby -- Learned a lot about online community using TweetChat: tool and content were both teachers
Submitted by Susan Tenby, publisher of Online Communities for Social Change Today I had several discovery moments of serendipitous learning via Twitter....

Only a few spots left for Buzz2009!
Check out who we got to help us make sure the content and format of our conference was really what the association community needs ... and see who's talking about it . Thanks SO so much to everyone who has helped us promote the event. We really wanted to reach as many people as we could who might need this more advanced social media educational content - and using our relationships and social media to do it is a no-brainer, really!

  • Tagging As a Community Building Tool
    I'm just finished an awesome book called Tagging: People-Powered MetaData for the Social Web by Gene Smith. It sounds like a dry subject, but tagging is really super cool and ha massive implications for the design, building and nurturing of online communities and I thought I'd jot down some notes I took straight out of the book so you can see why.

  • More on Community Management
    Check out this post by my blogger buddy Dennis McDonald on whether everyone in an organization should have customer service responsibilities. He picked up on my earlier comment about community management , where I said that community management should be part of everyone's responsibility who deals directly with customers or members....
