I am an online community building consultant. I also develop and manage my own online communities. Let's talk.

@Nikki_S - Sorry to hear that. I'll never get over how easy it is for employers here in the US to fire at will and without notice.
Need more examples of the positive power of online communities? A community for recovering alcoholics: http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums...
How will Good Morning America react to all this? How should they react? http://twitter.com/#search...

Your online community's first argument should be seen as a positive step. Now you need to decide how to react (if at all)
@AndrewHemingway - An interview via twitter could be difficult. Why not just drop me an email?
What is an online community manager http://www.communityspark.com/what-is... has been kindly translated into Spanish by @Amaruxs - http://amaruxs.blogspot.com/2009...
@AndrewHemingway - Thanks for linking to my article. You've got some great resources on that page.
Never underestimate the impact a friendly, enthusiastic welcome has on new members of your online community.
Could the anonymous trolls in your online community soon be endangered? Maybe in India at least - http://www.techcrunch.com/2009...
@Amaruxs - It would be great if you put together a Spanish version!!

Thanks to @BFaverial who translated my article 'What is an online community manager? http://www.communityspark.com/what-is... into French: http://online-communities.net/2009...
@tinekepauw - That's great! I was just as glad to find you - us community managers need to stick together!
RT @eWayDirect Do you have relationships with people you want in your community? If not, you need to spend time cultivating before launch

@Reeb1981 - Non-profit looking for some direction. Short term project/consulting I believe. Could lead to something more.
RT @BriceRoyer Are you a socially conscious community manager? Help our nonprofit. Less of a job, more of a calling. Email jobs@tckid.com
Sometimes, new members of your online community won't fit in. Don't try to change your community, just let them leave.
RT @SueOnTheWeb Manage a community? How many of your members have you thanked today?
@cosmond - Agreed. I think clubs that haven't had fans build communities should be worried.
@msirkin - Are they one of the exceptions, though?
Being a community manager: encouraging, disappointing, rewarding and thankless. Sometimes all at the same time.
Why don't more sports clubs build online communities?
Spam destroys communities. If you're going to be absent for a while, make sure someone can delete spam whilst you're away.
