Thanks of the information. I found it helpful. Have you seen any kind of breakdown of those areas into specific tasks? Also, have you found that there is much difference in the responsibilities of a community manager based upon the type of community it is? e.g. a software user group versus a community around an issue (social, political, religious) versus a project?

Thank you.

Thanks for sharing these thoughts and slides, Dawn. One of the more interesting aspects of community management is that the definition of the role is constantly evolving. Sure, we create content–but what exactly? Blog posts? Twitter observations? Video conversations? I suppose it comes down to drilling down what content will be compelling for your community participants.

Great deck Dawn. I love the emphasis placed on the skills needed to be a community manager. It certainly is not for the weak, unmotivated or those who get easily flustered. We all know very well what we do, and it is time the world knows as well.
Thanks for sharing!

Martin – absolutely! People try to make it more complicated than it really is. Online communities are really just like having a conversation with people, and you promote them using your traditional marketing channels where your audience lives. The hard part for most people is figuring out which parts are different and which are the same.

Matt – sorry you missed it, but glad you could catch up.

Thanks for this. I really wanted to hear your presentation at OSU this week, but couldn’t make it.
Glad to have a chance to look this over!

Thanks for sharing these slides with us, Dawn. I love how you incorporated lessons for community management from children’s books.

It’s easy to forget that community online is just the same as community offline. The only difference is in the use of technology. The fundamentals are the same.
