I used to be a community manager at my last company, this means I helped to join, build, and bolster and online community around our company leaders, customers, and products. It even spilled out to real world events and real friendships.
Alex likes the group I created in Facebook for Community Managers. These are folks that are responsible for fostering, growing, and cultivating communities in their organization. If you’re one of those folks, please join the Group for Community Managers. I just added a few of the friends I know with those names yesterday and it’s already started to grow, Facebook has exponetial growth.
Yes, I’m basically acting as the community manager for community managers, let’s see how well I can do.
In his post, Alex says that he’s almost back to blogging, and I want to encourage him to continue paying himself first. I suggest (and have argued) that blogging can lead towards the road of achievement.
An example of achivement? Today, one of the editors of Techcrunch send me a friend invite to Facebook. He said that some of my posts (the Industry Index) lists were helpful for him during his research. That’s great, I’m helping a major influencer.
