About the Talk
If you're working on the Web today, there is a high likelihood that "community" is part of the plan. Unfortunately, many of the basic elements that bring online communities to life and make them successful for businesses and individuals are still a mystery. Lee will decode the world of online communities and boil all the hype down to the basic strategies and elements that make online communities work. You'll leave this talk with easy to remember ways to host a successful online community and/or throw one hell of a good party..
