Kellie Parker at Community 2.0
Here are my notes from Kellie Parker’s presentation at community 2.0. In other words, these are my interpretations of her words (not my words). She said a lot more, too, but I wasn’t able to take notes throughout the entire session. It is also possible that I might have some typos or have other errors in my notes.
Personal relationships are what communities are all about.

Choose your platform wisely - it can enhance or harm your efforts. Find the one that is right for you that helps you accomplish your goals for the community with the tools that you need to support those efforts. Start small, but build for future growth. Continue to re-evaluate the platform as your community grows.
Best practices:
- Define goals
- Know how to measure them
- Be patient. community grows slowly
- Require registration
- Interact with members
- Have written community standards
- Address negative comments about your brand. Don’t delete them.
Communities are a group effort. Community managers can lead the effort, but everyone needs to participate.
