That's soo awesome. I wish I could have been there!

Blog Post CommentI was there! It was so much fun catching up.
-
Blog Post CommentIt sounds like the program is really working for you. That is really great. btw: NPR, how exciting to be on that show...one of my fav's
-
Blog Post CommentIs one of the duties of the Administrator to create fancy, well structured lists? Because I must say, good job!
-
Blog Post Comment❤️So many could learn from this. I've visited community's where the fun is all but gone, the rules make prison seem like a vacation, and interaction with the staff is prohibited. It's like why do they have a community? Great info Rosemary, as always
-
Blog Post Comment❤️Thanks, J.C., I agree, and I don't know why anyone wants their community to be like a gulag, either! They need more .
-
Blog Post CommentNice article. Too bad CareerStep's Hoopla site is a private community. I would have liked to have seen the 6 year game of "The Person Below Me." Would have also liked to be able to look at another successful community, you know, to learn something to try at our community.
-
Blog Post CommentI know, a 6 year fun for a game like that is pretty amazing. Makes me wonder what the longest-running game is... I'll make sure our next Q&A highlights a publicly accessible community, Carol! It is cool to pick up tips and tricks from each other.
-
Blog Post CommentExcellent description of the differences. I think perhaps an online community can also be more theme oriented, right? A mission, cause, program, objective or some such? Which at the end of the day continuously helps my further clarity about Hoop.la. Slow on the uptake, and I'm not sure why I am! Time...take the time to learn thoroughly, Jayme. Yep.
-
Blog Post CommentYes, I love the insight about a theme or cause. That's definitely another differentiator. You're not slow on the uptake--you're helping me up my game every time we talk

Blog Post CommentWhere can I read details of this latest release?
-
Blog Post CommentIt was kind of a mini release, and this was the biggest new enhancement...but we can post a bit more detail today!
-
Blog Post CommentHere are a few more enhancements that were included in this release: We fixed the pagination bug for dialogs and clip sets. In the content management area of the control panel, we added some new search parameters. You can now find clips that have no clip set, or blogs that have no collection, and search for content that is either featured or not featured. There were other behind-the-scenes bug fixes and updates, but nothing else that affects the feature set.

Blog Post CommentCommunity building is a challenge for many...whether you're a blogger or apparently a chicken farmerette. It's been suggested to me I'm a natural at building community; not exactly sure why...perhaps the natural ebullience? HEH. Had to use that word. I like this post. Short and to the point.
-
Blog Post CommentThanks Jayme! You are a "natural" indeed. (And I hope this post had verve.)
-
Blog Post Comment200 members is great but how many are free and how many are paying? What business model was used as far as pricing was concerned? The standard $25 a year? Or a larger monthly fee etc? I never watched the video, so sorry if it is mentioned there - 3am here I am too tired.
-
Blog Post CommentHey Danny! I just thought I'd pipe in on this as I got the email notification that you'd responded. The video is before I had set up premium memberships and more focuses on things that I had learned about bringing new members to the site in only a couple of months and keeping them engaged. I've since set it up and do have maybe 5 paying members currently (at the standard annual rate) but I really operate the site for the love of sharing my interests with others and learning from one another...
-
Blog Post CommentI know this is old but it caught my eye (well both of them actually. My take on this is, you do indeed tread a fine line between creating the right kind of platform for a community. Engaging them in the creation is one way. Allowing people to have their input is very good but everyone has a different opinion so you have to start with an adaptive base. The big question is how do you get them in the first place? Of the millions of people out there who do you reach out to with your invites. I...
-
Blog Post CommentBrian, it warms my heart to see someone like you, who is very knowledgeable about the tech side of things on the internet, and who is much younger than I am, do something like this. The issues you raised are spot on and have motivated me to do the same thing. I got a Faceplant page about 2 years ago solely for family purposes. I think I have 8 "friends." My daughter was posting pics of the grandkids there at the time. However, due to the privacy concerns you linked to in your post, she has...
-
Blog Post CommentHi Rich, Thank you for the thoughtful and kind words! It's humbling to hear. I can't believe it's been over 5 years now since I wrote this post and quit Facebook. I can tell you that I've never looked back After a nasty election cycle like this year, I can definitively say I don't miss it at all! Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts; enjoy the Facebook-free life Brian

Blog Post Comment❤️I might be wrong but I think sometime in 1997 there was Ultimate Bulletin Board, Version 3.0 - Beta 2 . We had just started our forum then with you guys.
-
Blog Post Comment@Amral Khan yes! Wow, that really brings me back. You need an "OG" badge.
-
Blog Post Comment❤️I use groups in my choir community so that smaller working groups (committees) have a place to work that is apart from the main community. These little dedicated areas allow Production, Promotion, and Fundraising committees to do their work and keep their documents in a separate place, so they can maintain focus without the distraction of the main community activity. Love the blog photo. Best ever!
-
Blog Post Comment❤️We love groups and the key to making them work is to really think about how to "architect" the information flow. You want the group to contain the information valuable to the participants, but want to be sure you're not managing duplicate content within the groups; which makes it hard to manage. Let me elaborate: Our groups care for separate partner organizations, all of which have different focuses, products and concerns. The assigned admin of the group keeps their section updated with the...
-
Blog Post Comment❤️The principles of when and how to use "group" is a good guide to reflect, so thanks. I'm not a community manager, simply a moderator type, with ideas and attempts to develop communities of a few sorts, help inspire use. It seems to me need to have an actual project and a small group, to utilize application in order to be able to bridge to any "organizational" level engagement. again, thanks, good to hear others sharing their ideas
-
Blog Post Comment❤️Thanks for sharing your insights Lori, Erin, and Bill! Erin I consider you the "groups sensei." It would be cool to do a focused case study on how you're doing that (And Lori, I definitely had you in mind when I picked that photo, hehe.)
-
Blog Post CommentRosemary, let's set up the case study. We definitely are not using Groups in a standard way, but it works great!
-
Topic ReplyThanks for sharing this tip, Yasmin! I think there might be others who would like to try something like that to leverage their own FB audiences.

Blog Post Comment❤️If I understand this correctly, all the items that are presently on our site (TravelGumbo.com) with http:// will automatically convert to https:// but it will not change external links embedded in blogs, etc. If I am correct, what will happen if someone clicks on a Tweet, or a link somewhere else, that contains http://travelgumbo.com/blog/whatever ? Will it automatically route to https://travelgumbo.comc/blog/whatever ? If not, what can we do to make that happen?

Blog Post CommentHi Paul, You are correct. All requests will be redirected automatically to a secure connection. If you enter http://www.socialstrata.com on your browser, it will redirect you to a secure connection. Incoming links from other sites work the same way.

Blog Post Comment❤️Thanks for the resources and links. The "planner" offers some good reminders. My Wish: That CrowdHoop would incorporate CM tools and reminders/metrics into the actual interface (rather than on paper). Seems like a logical development since it's the community interface where we spend our time. I'd start with optioning the "calendar" module into a "planning and scheduling tool" for community managers and their team (and not open to everyone). Each day/week/month could incorporate certain...

Blog Post CommentCool ideas, thanks for the input @neil !

Blog Post CommentGreat idea! Very, very helpful. Thank you!

Blog Post CommentIt was really great, please update more such articles.

Blog Post Comment❤️You are the queen of community, and I have just ensured that everyone in my network knows that! Shared, shared, and shared again! Awesome sauce!

Blog Post Comment❤️Hi, thanks for these reminders. I'm planning to showcase my top "ranked" community members in a blog post, but I was hoping to be able to share a definition of what that ranking is/means in the post. (If I don't, it will only open up a huge can of worms.) You used to be able to hover over "Community Rank" in the profile and get a definition, but you can no longer do this on the new site. Can you tell me what it is*, and over what period of time it's computed (is it cumulative over the...
-
Blog Post CommentThanks Jayme! Julia, thanks for the heads up that the hover text has gone missing...I see that you've reported that in the support site, so I'm sure it will get fixed. Meanwhile, here's the text that should be appearing, to explain to a member what "rank" is: Community Rank Your community rank reflects your overall contributions to, and influence within, the community. The lower the number, the better! The rank is based on your overall community activity points, as well as the number of...

Blog Post CommentWell done this article! I enjoyed the way you presented it and the way you made it interesting. Please make more posts like this I will continue to support you moto x3m

Blog Post CommentI had problems with a few of them to start with. It's difficult to tell what the people are like beneath the posts.

Crowdstack DiscussionHi all, I really like the look and feel of the Crowdstack website but I haven't found any examples of integrations online, like how others have made it happen. It would be really helpful in knowing how it can be customized. Is there a list of websites using Crowdstack community or at least a few examples? I'm also looking into whether Crowdstack can be installed in Italian or French. Thank you Claudio Lescure
-
Topic ReplyHi Claudio, thanks for reaching out! There isn't a list of sites, but here are some public examples: Kids with Food Allergies Extension Connect WIne Spectator We don't offer pre-translated versions of Crowdstack Pro, but you do have the ability to upload your own translation of the platform (we make the word file available to customers).
