Re: What is a Community?

Interesting post here, and I would agree that the term "community" is thrown around just like we throw around "engagement" and "conversation."

My only caveat here is that the community is not just between you and your readers, but between your readers as well. Sometimes that community building takes place on your blog, as people weigh on (like I am) on a given post. Other times that conversation between community members will take place on Twitter, Friendfeed or someone else's blog.

When I think of my community, it's much greater than just the people who read and comment on my blog. It's the people I interact with on Twitter, people I follow on FriendFeed and people who share my passion about social media, whether they read my blog or not.

So perhaps you're using the word community when you really mean audience in this case. Or perhaps community is a much more loaded term than either of us recognize.

Anyway, great post. It's definitely something to keep thinking about.

Wow, I'm honored to be included, even if we ARE friends :-) I really haven't been blogging that long, but I'm committed to it now and there's much to cover.

And I now know you have some serious juice. Less than 24 hours after you contacted Guy about my blog, it was added to the PR category on Alltop!

Thanks for the head's up. I love Alltop for its simplicity. Anyway, I blogged this today, finally.

Thanks for the shout out, Jason. There's no better way for PR people to understand the conversations that take place in the blogosphere than by actually participating. It doesn't have to be about communications, either. Just find a topic that you're passionate about and jump in!
