[Sue]

Hi Everyone,

Thought I would start of the Introductions.

My name is Sue. I am currently an Online Community Manager for a very large British Expatriate community. Co-founded it in December 1999 and we launched it around February 2000. It currently has over 100,000 members and 7 million posts. Almost 2 years ago we were approached by a company who bought it from us, since then I have been acting as the Community Manager for the current owners.

Having been involved in various online communities over the last 10 years I realise that I am addicted . I love the interaction with people from all over the world, and all walks of life. It really is fascinating.

I love anything to do with community management, and social media, and as well as spending lots of time on the forum I manage I also hang out on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, lots and lots of interesting blogs, and everywhere in between.
