Community Background Link(s)
I’m doing some research to add to the Greenberg and Shirky conversation. My slant is going to be different — and hopefully I can bring some other disciplinary lenses to the theory buidling. But, to be properly steeped in community, I need to reference the books I have (I’ll add them to the Now Reading library as I do — I think they are in my office, rather than at home, so that’ll have to wait unti Monday evening).
Additionally, I’m doing a search/survey of the thoughts on community. The first link I found, which looks like a good starting point, is from Jake McKee of Big in Japan. I’m starting with this link.
I recently threw out a question to a few of the smartest community marketing minds around (as well as here on the blog). The question was simple, the answers were not.
If you had 5 minutes with an inquisitive marketing manager, what would you want to make sure they learned about working with fans/community?
I’ll add to this post as I build the link list (once I reach critical mass I’ll provide a delicious link as well).

Looking forward to seeing that list!

I’ve been tardy. Sorry! I have been collecting links though — don’t want to just spew a bunch out (see http://del.icio.us/tag/online_community) — but rather parse them about… filter the most relevant and interesting.
