These scenarios come to fruition in spontaneous communities, on social networks, and other self-service tools – all thanks to the availability of low cost technology and access to the world wide web. You can also not use the tools correctly or not behave appropriately within communities around the tools and market poorly.

There were other typical social networks in this grouping as well, including Flickr, FriendFeed, Kirtsy, Mixx, Plurk, StumbleUpon, Tip’d, and Twitter.

By May 18 , the MetaFilter community dared to ask the same, very unpopular questions Becky and some of her friends had been asking for months. This happened last week on the tightly knit community on Plurk, which has a unique and friendly atmosphere as Tamar described a few weeks ago. Ask for proof.

Honestly, as an employer, the idea that there can only be a select group of firm experts makes my blood boil.

Track things like audience/community sentiment (positive/negative) if you want to map effort to results. Use social networks respectfully to share the best of your content, in a community-appropriate setting. Remember that community and marketplace are two different things. Make it easy for your community to reach you.

I believe we’re going to shift back to thinking customer service and community management are the core and not the fringe. I believe we’re going to move our communications practices back in-house for lots of what is currently pushed out to agencies and organizations. Disagree with me in the comments. Dr. Wright.
