Powered by Community

BarCampSydney is taking place this weekend, and a presentation on building online communities was promised some time ago. Instead, a talk themed ‘Strategist’ Is a Dirty Word will be delivered to explore the idea that digital strategy is about storytelling and designing user experiences, not just about branding and positioning theories. It’s all about the idea, not the words, and the art of storytelling and experience design is making ideas happen. Anyway, in place of the presentation a manifesto for building online communities titled Powered by Community has been created to assist the creation and growth of online communities. Enjoy, and share your feedback in the comments.
