An indefinition of community plus more thoughts about anonymity

in Communities

I presented my thoughts about community at the NSW Knowledgement Management Forum last night in Sydney. It was a fun event and is always interesting to hear other people’s perspectives on this enigmatic thing we call ‘community’. Below is the presentation with the original Ignite presentation for context.

Would love your thoughts.

Not an academic analysis

Remix

Anonymity isn't cool

Seeding isn't cool

Whisper campaigns aren't cool

You're buying crack

Invest in relationships

Anonymosity

Not all interaction is social

Does contribution equal community?

Invisible interaction

Community - a plain definition

Community - my indefinition

    Hey Mark, I really enjoyed this last night. Clean and accessible. Nice one :)
  • Mark - This is awesome, thanks for sharing.
  • Mark, this doesn't resemble anything like the discussions about KM I have ever witnessed. Well done :)

    How do you think the audience took it?
  • Thanks for the comments.

    @Patrick I have absolutely no idea how it went down. Was a diverse turnout though. And fun!
