Perfectly said, Alexandria. And a timely read for newspaper editors who find themselves out of a job due to downsizing.

As I've said before, you can't stop your toddler from climbing but you can teach to climb safely and successfully.

This is golden: "Take a moment to understand how your solutions make your client shine to his or her audience." Several years ago, I had the good fortune of having one of my mentors explain to me that I had one job and one job only - To make my boss look good. Not only is it serving a client or company you work at the highest possible level, but they also sign your checks.

This would make my list for SxSW - would also fit nicely in the Business/Startups category.

Re: SXSW 2012 - Transforming Social Media for the Senior Community

Fantastic! I look forward to your presentation. Very important topic that should most certainly make the cut for SxSW 2012. It was actually my first thought as I stopped to think about what is really needed and has been neglected. My mother is 83, a Blackberry and computer user who enjoys social networks. Bravo.

Re: How To Create Facebook Community Guidelines

Michele Lorito-Chase — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 13:31:08 -0000

Hello Becky! You have written about a very important component of building and growing online communities. From what I see, you hit every nail square on its head.

In November of last year, I created a Facebook group as a local community outreach initiative supporting the unemployed and under-employed in Southwest Florida. The primary goal of the group was to bring together those who are seeking employment and local businesses in need of talent. Within minutes of making the group public, I discovered an immediate need to create "Group Guidelines". Needless to say, my fingers were going a mile a minute creating some sort of policy on the fly. I made addendum's and changes throughout the first week as instances arose. While "on-the-fly" worked for this particular group at the time, there are very clear reasons to be proactive and formulate sound guidelines prior to launch and should be the first thing a community manager addresses before anything else. Since that time, I created a simple template for planning an online community and use it for client needs.

If you want to take a look at what I created for Back-To-Work SWFL, you can find it here:

Re: An industry challenge: build “MicroSXSW” to bring back fun times at SXSW

Michele Lorito-Chase — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 02:35:15 -0000

If I were to go, this would be my mission. Stay away from the big crowds and just kinda end up finding someone doing the same thing. : )

Michele Lorito-Chase — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 02:33:27 -0000

The whole big conference thing freaks me out a bit. I really can't think of how it would benefit me or my business. I would much rather connect with a few people over dinner. Definitely.

Re: Loved startup: TeamSnap helps people manage sports and other teams

Michele Lorito-Chase — Thu, 02 Dec 2010 21:42:02 -0000

Robert,

Wow. You know how to pick them! I truly enjoyed this interview and listening to Dave speak about TeamSnap. A great and much needed platform - As a community manager and a "softball/baseball" Mom, this is the answer for so many parents who dedicate an endless amount of volunteer hours - but also with a special dose of cool! I know of one league that is in desperate need of community organization and I will be in touch with Mr. DuPont.

Re: Fire Your Marketing Manager and Hire A Community Manager

Michele Lorito-Chase — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 14:02:23 -0000

First, I would like to thank David for provoking this very important discussion.

"With community management being a core discipline. You can take that to the bank."

The position of a Community Manager is not a replacement for marketing and public relations teams and management, but a separate integral component. Community managers are front line (excuse the phrase) grunts, who are in the field listening, engaging, assisting customers, and running reconnaissance, reporting back to marketing and PR so that they can work their own magic.

I have this quote on my Facebook profile and I think it's most fitting to use here: "We must learn to think together in an integrated, synergistic fashion, rather than in fragmented and competitive ways." Joanna Macy

Wishing you love, peace and prosperity in 2010 and beyond.

Re: You Would Have to Be Insane to Get a New iPhone Now

Michele Lorito-Chase — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 12:26:47 -0000

Hello Louis,

Your post was right on time for me. Currently in the midst of a mobile decision. Out of contract and no phone, so I'm free to choose. : ) Checked out the Droid. Really like it. I like the way it feels in my hand. (and please take it easy on me-I actually found it easier to use than the iPhone) My children have Verizon under their Father's plan. And NOW is not the time to purchase an iPhone. Yet, no simultaneous voice/data with the Droid, camera not as good as the iPhone, etc., etc..
Help...I need opinions!
