About Online Communities

Everyone interested in finding persons with similar interests are building, creating, designing,and evolving  an online community. Wikipedia defines online communities as:

“A virtual community, e-community or online community is a group of people that primarily interact via communication media such as newsletters, telephone, email, online social networks or instant messages rather than face to face, for social, professional, educational or other purposes. If the mechanism is a computer network, it is called an online community. Virtual and online communities have also become a supplemental form of communication between people who know each other primarily in real life. Many means are used in social software separately or in combination, including text-based chatrooms and forums that use voice, video text or avatars. Significant socio-technical change may have resulted from the proliferation of such Internet-based social networks.^“

There are hundreds and maybe thousands of online communities. In fact, a site I used to read years ago, The Well, is still alive and has been since 1985. For a glance at some of the virtual communities, Wikipedia has this list.

I have investigated many communities over the past year and have generally found them to be as wide-ranging as we are unique. One of my favorite bloggers, Seth Godin (who cofounded Squidoo), believes “what’s important is that it is now common, and will soon be expected that every….person will have a media platform where they share what they care about with the world.”

Many communities created by and for large companies can cost $1,000,000.00. Also I have found several blogs that evaluate how much online community managers make (generally from $60,000.=$100,000). Check out these sources: Connie Bensen and the online community report.

Why are companies investing this money? Because the old forms of getting and keeping customers isn’t working anymore. Customers no longer want to do business with companies whose only interest in them is how much money the company can make.

About the Author Feb. 2009 (305 words)

Having been born in 1940, and having loved several of my lives before, I am now living my perfect life. Through the generosity of my husband, I am able to write, edit and research the topics I have been studying or living for most of my life.

My husband and I live in South Florida on a freshwater canal near Fort Lauderdale. He is an avid bass fishermen so with his four sons, he spends many happy hours exploring the Everglades from our canal. He remains my biggest cheerleader and the love of my life.

Having been a teacher and counselor in addiction/mental health and in recovery since 1976, I learned that most people love to learn about themselves. I realized that many of the labels used by counselors are unknown to all the people who never attend therapy. So I took these labels and developed a short test that will teach anyone 10 of his/her labels.

My test, called the Changemaker Test, offers education for self-discovery as I believe that change within a person involves the courage to see (insight) and the courage to act (action). Therefore by using the labels to change themselves, the changemaker is the person who decides to learn and make the change happen.

My inspiration for the Changemaker products has come from having read many books over 50 years. What I’ve realized about our life today is that we have become accustomed to “sound bites”. To me this means that we can benefit from short directives instead of trying to absorb all the information in a book.

So I have elected to put the information from my main blog on several other blogs. Each blog has a separate theme from the main body of my work. The Changemaker Family of Blogs includes the following:

1)   kathyberman.com (Changemaker: Reinventing Yourself)

2)   answersbyemail.com

3)   changemakergroups.com

4)   cmlibraryonline.com

5)   healingforyouonline.com

6)   highenergygoals.com

A Social Media Primer (312 words)

Social media is growing so fast, it is difficult to get a broad, general overview of the field. Today I have chosen some resources for those who are new to the concept.

Slideshare is a place where you can save your slide presentations. The following are about social media.

(1)  Vanina Delobelle is the global product director at Monster. She has created a slideshare offering her slideshow of Social Media for Dummies. Slidespace allows you to upload your presentations so that others can download them if they choose. You can add audio to create a webinar. Plus you can share your slideshows privately or publicly. You can also launch a widget of your presentations to put on your own blog. To get a pack for yourself, go to the widgets page.

(2)  “Blowing Up” Social Networks by Going Open is David Recordon’s talk at FOWA London 2008 about the open web, social networks and other cool stuff he cares about.

(3)  In the “Social network websites: best practices from leading services” provides a general background for understanding social network websites. It is meant to be a beginning study that can be added to. There are 79 slides in this presentation. A download file is provided. The author, Faber Novel, has other slideshows here including a Facebook Study.

Indeed (one search, all jobs) is a job search site that has a graph of the growth of social media, social networking, web 2.0, and blogs jobs. The graph covers Jan. 1, 2005 until Aug. 31,2008 and shows the growth of the four fields from zero (0%) jobs on Jan. 1, 2005 until today with the statistics taken from the search terms from job seekers using indeed.

Jeremiah Owyang, whose blog–Web Strategy by Jeremiah, should be at the top of your RSS reader if you love social media, has a huge list of social computing and community managers for enterprise corporations 2008–social media jobs and professionals.
