Beyond facebook groups --Patrick Olszowski, Tue, 08 Jan 2008 04:54:19 -0600 reply
We spent a while building a Facebook group of nearly 1400, only to find that beyond 1000 members we were prevented from emailing those who had joined. I'd be really keen to hear about other peoples' experiences of how they moved facebook members into other channels. Thanks, Patrick Campaigns Manager Action Medical Research
Community activation --ademoor, Mon, 24 Mar 2008 17:59:46 -0500 reply
Many online collaborative communities, such as in e-campaigning, make use of a wide range of tools (wikis, mailing lists, Facebook, ...) to support them in their interactions. However, community members often get lost within and between the tools. How to "activate" community members in their various roles (discussants, summarizers, taggers, editors, ...) at the right moment for the right task in the right tool? How to build and keep energy levels high enough to keep people motivated to participate? How to prevent communication overload?
Role of virtual worlds --ademoor, Tue, 25 Mar 2008 13:51:49 -0500 reply
Virtual worlds, in particular Second Life, have a lot of potential for serious applications (see for example some of the snapshots I took at the 1st Second Life International Conference 2007: Best Practices in Teaching, Learning, and Research: http://www.communitysense.net/info/?q=node/58 ) However, without clear goals, processes, and facilitation these complex environments are doomed to failure. What success and failure stories do eCampaigning participants have? What are the do-s and dont-s to make for example Second Life really work for campaigning purposes? Any guidelines, manuals, materials for succesful activities "in world", both one time events and long-term collaborations? [Aldo de Moor, CommunitySense]?
