Community WireCommunity Out Lasts Sell By DatePicture this..your favourite TV program is ending and so is the TV program's website. What is a fan to do? Continue to chat and keep the chat room on the site, of course. That is what fans of the TV program Big Brother did. The chat on the Yahoo! Big Brother site has been so popular that a new site has been created for fans to continue to use. It just goes to show the power of community! Community VoiceSite Tweak and New Trainings OfferedCommunityAnswers has undergone some growth over the past year and a half and so to accommodate it we have changed the structure of our site just a bit. We have added two new areas to the site. First, a resource area which now houses the "Recommended Reading" list that was originally on the front page. As this area continues to expand, we will be adding other resources to assist our visitors in their community building endeavors. Please do keep an eye on the new additions and should you have any recommendations of resources that might be of help to you or others, don't hesitate to let us know. Second, we have also added a training section (http://communityanswers.com/training.asp) to house our two new training courses mentioned in the last issue of the conduit: "Community Manager Essentials" and "Growing Community without the Weeds". With the launch of this new area, we are now taking registrants for the courses. We are accepting registration on a "first come first serve basis, and with the class size being rather limited, if you are interested in signing up, please do contact us. A description of each course, course syllabus and details can be found
at: http://communityanswers.com/training.asp. Please do not hesitate to let us know if you have any questions, as we will be happy to assist. You can contribute to communityanswers.com and gain valuable insights by asking a question right now: |
