Some even boast high rankings and good sized communities. At the same time, I think it’s imperative that kids, both my age and younger, get the opportunity to play outside and experience nature, family, and some good old-fashioned reading before they start using computers heavily.

Blogging for Community These blogs seek to guild a consistent readership that interact with the blogger(s) and advocate on behalf of the content on other social outposts. We see blogging both as community building and as a function of being a web based business.

The point is that consumers now have a more potent aggregate power: someone with a problem can now reach others with the same problem faster, build a community around this shared problem easily, and mobilize lots of people behind the common cause more efficiently. Not just being talked about but be an active voice in the community.

Blogging is powerful because it is the power of niche communities. 2009 I'd love to see companies, PR professionals, governments and more continue to embrace new media and to reach out to, rather than be afraid of, the blogging community. But the real value comes in the form of strong communities built around relationships.

The easiest way to find these people is to find the communities that your users frequently visit, be it forums, Twitter, or other social networks. This task can be delegated to a community manager who corresponds directly with the evangelists and distributes the special perks. Spotting your brand ambassadors should not be too tricky.

In true Twitter fashion, it wasn’t “rolled out” per se, it just appeared as part of the API that third parties access. Twitter success requires an understanding of the unique rhythms and cadences of the community, and a give first, get later mentality that is a bit counterintuitive at first. Not an overwhelming participation rate.
