Why Do So Many Online Communities Fail? - 1 views

  •  
    By Naava Frank in e-Jewish Philanthropy, May 2 2013. The author compares online communities to cocktail parties, in order to remind community sponsors that "guests" must be cultivated and introduced to each other. She describes a "relationship infrastructure" of equal importance to the technology infrastructure. The article concludes with a protocol that includes working in pairs, requiring an "assignment" (e.g. common goal) and for participants to post their responses -- and then to reply to each others' responses.

    Frank's protocol matches KPI's findings in terms of engagement.

  •  
    By Rose Holley, in D-Lib Magazine, March/April 2010, vol 16(3/4). This article looks at crowd sourcing -- more than "social engagement," the author defines crowdsourcing as individuals collectively working towards a common goal (e.g. correcting a news article) -- and how libraries might direct engagement in crowdsourcing.
  •  
    In many cases, "crowdsourcing" (as per author's definition) is what we (KPI) are trying to accomplish with our Jams and other online engagements. The author offers a great checklist (with examples) for how to engage your "crowd" in your project. SM

  • Something I am trying to get a handle on in my dissertation has to do with communication (and communication formats) that are imposed on a group/team and those in which groups or teams are able to develop their own forms and forms of communication. What I found is that a team might have “hidden” communication, withholding from some, developing different spaces and different &nbsp;levels of access to various members, depending on the task. Where would that come into your framework? Harold Jarche , on February 11th, 2010 at 19:32 Said: Good question.

  •  
    An earlier blog by Harold Jarche referring to Lillie Efimova's work. Note how structure/goal oriented moves over to informal/opportunity-driven network with personal drivers taking over. Perhaps most MCNC groups reside in the opportunity-driven, informal networking place--not so much coordination but cooperation keeps them together, weakly? Has an impact also on facilitator's role.
