Last week I launched my big new project, Culture Conductor, an exploration into the “how” of online communities…
- How to create them
- How grow them
- How keep them healthy
The site is a collection of interviews, stories, tools, tips, and wisdom from people who out there on the wild, wild internets doing this kind of work. It’s a place to share ideas and practical advice. It’s a place to find help and get work. And it’s a place to hang out with a people-geek like me.
Unlike pretty much every other blog I’ve ever made (and I’ve made way too many), this one was not built in an afternoon. It took a year. I’ve been carrying around and sifting through a messy pile of momentum and conundrums since last summer (if you go skim August 2009 – June 2010 in this blog, you’ll see a pretty clear evolution). I figured out what I wanted to create from it all in early May. And I’ve been working like a manic scattered crazypants since then to make it happen.
And here it is! Or at least, here’s the beginning.
I hope you enjoy it with me!
