		<description><![CDATA[It's the relationships your members are able to create with each other, that makes the difference between a good community and a great one. <br /><br />People come together because a common element draws them in, but what happens after that initial buzz wears off? You can create as many special offers, and campaigns, as you want, but those only provide...]]></description>

		<category></category>
		<description><![CDATA[I've just sat back and watched what could have become an issue, turn into something positive. I observed, I read, and most importantly, I took a step back to see where the conversation was going. If I had stepped in too soon it may have turned out differently and I could have made a bad situation worse.<br /><br />We had a member discussing suicide on...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I've had so much going on lately that my little forum and blog has been neglected and that's a big no, no in community management. So sorry for that, I promise to do better.<br /><br />I've been reading lots this past week about predictions, goals and the future of community management. I've even seen it touted as a "second job" or...]]></description>

		<category></category>
		<description><![CDATA[Let's face it things go wrong - online communities have tech issues, a moderator or a Community Manager makes a mistake. It's the nature of the beast. It's how we handle those situations that count. Do we fix them and forget about them? Do we ignore the community's concerns? Do we brush the issue under the carpet? No, we...]]></description>

		<category></category>
		<description>How many times have you taken the time to stop and examine your community through the eyes of a newbie? I must admit to having dropped the ball on this of late. I think I had neglected to remember what it was like to feel like a newbie until I started some college classes recently. Everything was new, and strange and I had no idea what was going...</description>

		<category></category>
		<description><![CDATA[I truly am fascinated with the interaction of people online, it's one of the reasons I've been a community manager for almost 10 years. The last 6 months or so I have slowly come to the realization that I am good at what I do, and that the community management knowledge that I have accumulated over the years does have worth. I may not be...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been monitoring new job postings for Community Managers and noticing the the job descriptions, roles, and responsibilities varies widely, and it has made me wonder if many employers are blurring the lines between community management and social media. In many areas these roles do over lap, and I think that's what makes it somewhat...]]></description>

		<category></category>
		<description><![CDATA[I would say approx 70-80% of a community managers time is "behind the scenes" stuff. For example, I always try and connect with as many of our members behind the scenes as much as possible. It's that one-to-one connection that builds relationships and respect, and lets the other person know that you care about their opinions and...]]></description>
