I’ve recently taken on the role as a Community Manager, which I think is an ok title. But I agree that managing a community is just as hard as managing knowledge (knowledge management has always been har as well…)

The best term I’ve heard so far is gardening, it’s also a good metaphor to use.

That’s one I haven’t heard Valeria.

Customers perceive the efforts of a person in this position & are grateful of their presence (no matter the title). They appreciate personalized customer service & the community participation.

At Fast Company readers’ network that title used to be “coordinator” when I started that role back in early 2000. Now I call myself curator. It seems a better fit for the role than “manager” (with all its history in corp. America). Just my .02, words matter.

I updated the 4th tenet.

Dennis – I agree that the ‘online’ does narrow the scope. My company has Community Meetings & dept’s report on their projects. It’s an awesome internal function & I report on the external community. Operations, QA, customer service & my marketing manager also report on interactions with the community at large.

Sascha – I’m not sure if any of this is ‘typical’ in the US yet either. My ‘formal’ community is our product forums & I would think that most companies have them?

Jim – Isn’t that mindmap just a great resource? Maybe not enough for you to use a PPT, but certainly worth referring people to.

And Sascha & I have an idea to make it even better! stay tuned…

Thanks for the post Connie. I swore I wouldn’t use PPT in my presentation tomorrow about Hiring Social Media Managers, but these resources keep popping up. I think I’ll refer to it and they can come and see the map, as it does provide a pretty detailed list.

Sascha: thanks for the response. My question originates from the need to navigate relationships where some people use online tools (such as social networks) and some don’t. Plus there’s the fact that aspects of a relationship with a given individual can be handled both via online techniques as well as via other (e.g., face to face, telephone) means. I know this sounds obvious but when social networking systems proliferate (and overlap) you need to step back now and then and figure out how best to relate to a given “community,” and that usually requires a mix of media and channels. Hence, my concern that “online community manager” is a too-narrow concept.

Dennis: As I understand it, Community Management (w/o “Online”) is a role typical for the US. Here in Germany we don’t have such strong locally focused communities – they are there, but not as professionally organized or managed as in the US.

Beside, I strongly believe the difference is not as big. It’s the people, online and offline, who make a community become a community, so to speak.

Of course the doing is different and the tools are not the same. But in the end it’s the facilitation of communication, sharing and “togetherness”, regardless which medium you look at.
