We are trying to describe what community managers do. Your thoughts?
Being the champion in Rod Beckstrom's analogy of the decentralized organization - Bjoern Negelmann
Therefore being "relentless in promoting a new idea" (the idea of the community) and "inherently hyperactive" - Bjoern Negelmann
@brianoberkirch check out The Four Tenets of the Community Manager http://www.web-strategist.com/blog... - Jeremiah Owyang
Discussing with community leaders - Igor Poltavskiy
Community managers mediate between community members! - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
Well don't community managers manage communities? - Wayne Schulz
My favorite part of the role is sifting through all the great feature requests and recommendations, getting free user feedback on how to make your product better. - Adam Darowski
Suggest they be called something else. You don't MANAGE your community, you serve it. - shelisrael1
I like Shel's answer! ;-) - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
Smartly ride herd on the cattle, the cowboys, the ponies and the coyotes--y(ou can tell I've been in Colorado too long from this answer, can't you?) - susan mernit
Shel, we agree the term isn't a good one. In my case, HR needed to have the term manager in the books for the title. We all know the real rules of engagement. - Jeremiah Owyang
Damage Control. - Geoff Schultz
Ask HR. Are they Human Managers? (well in a sense they are). By parallel the title could be Manager, Community Relations - Michael Markman
Found enough good stuff in links & commentary here & twitter to do a (gasp) blog post on this. You remember those, right? - Brian Oberkirch
Most companies I've studied are horrible at bootstrapping community. They don't know how to get one going. But they are fairly good at managing things that are already built. So, a community manager is someone who keeps an already-existing community happy. Who listens to the community and takes care of problems. Who finds new content and other things for that community, IE, who feeds that community. Here on FF we're ALL community managers due to the distributed nature of how FF works. - Robert Scoble
@Robert I couldn't agree more. Been on both ends. Was moderator for a huge board for a couple of rock stars and did exactly as you say. That community thrived because they wanted to be there. Nothing I did generated that. I only maintained it. I sure learned the difference when I tried to start communities for several other orgs! - Melanie Reed
Way back in the day I "managed" several mailing lists (I still miss majordomo, btw), most of which were very focused. It's really more like herding cats than cattle. A largely thankless job that you do because you have a passion for the topic at hand. Community managers, if up to the task, can keep the channel clear of enough noise for the community leaders' signal to get through. - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ
They hang out in the community and rep the company and its products. Apologizes if the company screws up. Encourages people to choose the company's products over the others. Helps people find the right person in the company to work with. Retains their humanity, and generally takes the customer's side whenever possible. Quits if the company acts in an unprincipled way, so they act as a guarantor of the honesty of the company. A canary in the coalmine. Best if it's the CEO of the company. - Dave Winer
We call the roll Community Gardener since they need to plant the right seeds, ensure water & sunlight and a healthy environment. That includes tending to weeds, ensuring that things that will pollute the healthy growth of the community do not take hold. - Austin Hill
The Real Community Manager is Proselytes Maker - Lora Lufark
good CM projects his passion for the subject into the primordial soup, infects people with ideas and said passion, and catalyzes community formation per se. That's the fun part. Then it's onwards to herding cats. - Michael Bravo

Question re: FriendFeed recursiveness: Should I also "Like" things I "Comment" on (and vice versa)? How does that work?
I'm thinking that "liking" something is similar to "starring" something in Google Reader... it is left up to you how you want to use it. You can star something to refer to later, to mark as something to finish reading later, to email to someone, etc. I'm not sure there's a defined purpose for "liking". - Adam Darowski
I'm with you re:liking=starring. Just seems that if you comment on something it should automatically become liked. - Noah Carter
They have the same effect. In my case, sometimes I have nothing to add but I found the item interesting. So I "like" it. :) - Alejandro
Noah, suppose your comment is that you disagree with someone's post? There are plenty of ways that commenting is not the same as liking lol. - Isha (Marysia)

Virtual resume = Google Vanity Search! « Marketing Nirvana - http://mariosundar.wordpress.com/2008...
Not sure if the blog really is the new resume anymore since we all rely on so many different services. Mario says it's your Google vanity search. I think I agree. - Adam Darowski
Adam, I've been trying to rethink personal pages, as blogging recedes into the background. I'll try to (gasp) write something on this. Your own domain still should be the way you try to influence your google resume. - Brian Oberkirch
The first thing any of us do when interviewing someone is look at the resume for the spelling of the person's name and Google them...if I find more info like a blog or a personal page I'm that much more prepared for the interview and ultimately to hire the person. - Kyle
@brian Yes, yes. I ended up building a page one level up from my blog to act as an aggregator for everything NOT on my blog (links, embedded FriendFeed, etc.). Looking forward to seeing what you (gasp!) write. :) - Adam Darowski
