Waay back in the 1990s I co-founded a startup on-line community for the restaurant industry. Blogs were in their infancy and we used bulletin boards and comment streams on posts to communicate with our user-base and we loved every second of it. Nobody saw how community could support a business model. Can you make money?

Like any community there are a lot of un-written laws to how you tweet on Twitter. Choose your Twitter friends carefully for the value they add to you and your network. If your Twitter persona is for a corporation or your looking for a job, let people know either in your profile or by your tweets. There is no later.

The idea of meditating together with 10,000 people around the world is powerful, and I’ve struck up several conversations around these notifications on Twitter. This particular app also has a community aspect, where people can share their own insights and joining groups around their areas of interest. The naysayers.

A quick look at his Twitter stream will demonstrate, it’s not just lip service, he’s actively engaged. While I think there’s truth to that, I’d also point out that Musk has 148,000 followers on Twitter. Find him on Twitter , Google+ or read more from him on his blog: Sword and the Script.

For me everything relates to community in some way. John suggests that “In a perfect world, every business would spend a year or so doing nothing but community building before they ever open the doors.” How much would that community trust you as a business and value you as a part of the community?

I’ve been gratified and a little puzzled by some of the people who follow me on Twitter (or any other social network for that matter). I did a little rough surveying of my Twitter friends and it seems there are really only a few ways people make the decision to follow or not follow on Twitter. Get to know them.

You could lose your community. Hmm, well if your community is that easy to distract maybe you need to work on that a little more. I mean really, all of the communities online from Forums and Youtube to Twitter and Facebook use the user-generated content on their site to earn revenue and we don’t seem to mind so much.

The popularity of Instagram is clear, and if you are inclined to snap photos and share them with your friends and customers on social networks you can make your business more social and build a powerful sharing community on Instagram quickly. Building community while running a contest can be challenging, and sometimes fool-hardy.

Every few months somebody proclaims that blogging is dead and being replaced by micro blogging and other media and this post on the Forbes blog by Jeff Bercovici seems to say that Facebook and Twitter are replacing blogging. Blogging was about community, communication and storytelling. It worked too. It was awesome. it still is.

This morning I had a conversation with a friend about Google+ and it’s a conversation I used to have about Twitter. I used to say this to people about Twitter, and now I find people have exactly the same issue with Google+. Clearly he’s not circling the right people on Google+. So here’s how to do that for Google+.

Someone with 100,000 followers on Twitter re-tweeted you or responded? Social media is all about community and community is about sharing. Sure there’s a loudmouth in every community who broadcasts his or her wares to all who will listen and profess to be the ‘expert’ People tune them out eventually.

So I posted a note to Twitter and asked the Twittersphere how they find inspiration for a blog post. This just encourages community discussion and give a wider point of view on the subject at hand. Do what I did, and ask your network on Twitter, Facebook, forums, whatever networks you belong too. I hope so anyway!).

Then, just in time for Social Media Marketing World in San Diego, Twitter re-launched Periscope , another real time video app that streams directly to Twitter which they just acquired. Problem with the latter is people on Twitter just troll through streams. It certainly has an advantage with Twitter on it’s side.

I like to say Google+ combines the best of Twitter and Facebook on one network. The quick link or the witty comment shared on Twitter has the shelf life of maybe a couple of minutes before it’s buried in the Twitter stream. it looks like I have a profile and never use it at all. Yes, and you should too.

Give them a forum on your Facebook page or community pages, a number to call, an email address, anything they can use to contact you directly for information. If you’ve built up a strong community your community will often rally to your support when you are wronged. Make sure you let them know you appreciate them.
