Hi Bob,

Michael Brito’s blog spoke highly of you today. I read your blog and was particularly interested on your E2.0 principles. I am a social media “passionista” driving E2.0 efforts at work. Michael mentioned you don’t blog much. I noticed your blog does not include a subscription mechanism. Is there a way to connect besides twitter?

Comment on How much order to give your community? by Bob Duffy

@Sidharth thanks for your thoughts. I tend to agree. I think it is a difficult balance when you start up a community. If too flat and not organization it’s hard to identify with the content and as you say be a catalyst, too much and you’ve boxed yourself in.

My thoughts are that a community should be started with limited organization of content. Based on target audience of community there should be content which will help in acting as a catalyst in initiating conversations.

Initially, Communities shoud focus on increasing networking within members and allow formation of groups within the community and then slowly open up for new topics for discussion with specific groups.

@kenekaplan HA! I sent a tweet today on “Cut The Cheese”.

Found the Jeremiah post on that. Tire, Tower, or Wheel

Don’t cut the cheese, just add more chillis!

Yesterday, Jeremiah Owyang threw out: Does your org run like ???, a tire, or spoke and wheel. It’s Friday and I need a drink to remember the first one. But it was something like column.

Hilarious.

FWIW, one of our customers called Clearspace “a reverse mullet.” Party in the front, business in the rear.

I guess something has to be in the rear. Um. Don’t go there.

Hi Bob,

I stumbled across Michael’s article today which pointed to your post.

I really like the concept of “in the conversation” versus “at the conversation”. It really paints a clear illustration of the difference between the two approaches. Conversational ad targeting may help one target certain conversations to place ads (being “at” the conversation), but that is a far stretch from being “in” the conversation.

Certainly advertising can help create brand awareness, but it doesn’t build relationships, conversation or trust. To do that you have to participate in the conversation.

I like how you summed it up, “If your efforts enable active listening and responses between multiple parties, regardless of intent , then I think that is the social media.” Well said.
