Things We Are Reading This Week

All Things in Moderation – Best Practices for Successful Community Moderation – Direct moderation is the day-to-day interaction and management that signals to members what gets attention—both good and bad—from the organization. Successful community management requires not just a day-to-day awareness of the activity in your community but also the seamless application of tools and strategies to maximize engagement and minimize disruption.

Spreading Slow Ideas – We yearn for frictionless technological solutions. But people talking to people is still the way that norms and standards change.

State of Community Management Monday Fact #5: Investing in new community members pays off – You walk into a restaurant. There are people dining, chatting, having a good time – and there’s an empty table, but there’s no one there to greet you, seat you or give you a menu. Do you stay? You might, or you might leave. Either way, it’s not a comfortable first impression.Conversations with Community Managers – Patrick Hellen – Episode #29 features Patrick Hellen, Director of Community and Engagement at Deep Information Services. You’ll find part one (of two) below, where we chat about getting unlikely folks active in your community and how humor can be a community superpower.
