Sound Advice for Online Community Managers

Building Better Community and Passionate Evangelists:

Justin who works for Clearspring has some great words of advice for social media community managers. He points to four key words of advice on community building:

Step away from your computer
Find someone who LOVES your product and company to lead your community
Find your community and get to know them personally
Make love to your users

I like how Justin doesn’t focus on the technology, but the people. Check out the full post over at Oatmeal Stout.
