Twitter Updates for 2008-08-21

  • USA takes Guatemala 1-0 in front of a very hostile Guatemalan crowd. Carlos Ruiz is a dirty cheat. Nice start to WC qualifying. #
  • wondering how long before big media unleashes the lawyer dogs on justin.tv #
  • @bgoldy lightweight 🙂 #
  • @storming that sounds like our daughter. we stopped trying to dress her when she was 2 🙂 #
  • @divadanese Then shouldn’t your name be “Minnie”? ba-dum-ching (be sure and tip your waiters) #
  • @jrep @storming I agree with Blizzard – support is rarely in a position to be the advocate for the community. but we need a new name #
  • the term “community manager” is almost meaningless. r u daily support? community outreach? community marketing? community/customer advocate? #
  • @uid0 LOL… well, in truth, that’s how some people operate 🙂 #
  • @storming that’s kinda what i was getting at. Ideally, though, the community person/group will inhabit a semi-autonomous place #
  • @storming because the community group has to have a mandate from execs to prevent screwing over your community. #
  • @hunleyd LOL! nice… OH HAI! I’M IN YOUR FORUMS, DELETIN’ YOUR MESSAGES. KTHXBAI! #
  • @jzb very true – but I remember when it didn’t. #
  • @jrep I used to agree with that, but now I’m not sure. I mean, when does a viable community not bring value to the company? #
  • @jrep google and red hat really forced me to rethink that #
  • @jzb but I think things are definitely trending towards community being a distinct group. At least, it is at @CollabNet 🙂 #
  • @storming ah… yes, very true. I guess I’m drawing a distinction between community leadership and community interaction. Is that fair? #
  • @storming @jrep @mjasay hmm… I smell a panel at OSBC 🙂 #
  • @storming really? bury them in the product group? I dont’ think that 1 reflects the strategic value of community or 2 carries enough weight #
  • @jrep good point re: unique culture of each community #
  • @storming agree product is part of it, but “community managers” will live on in some separate capacity – comm. partic. will be absorbed #
  • @storming re: teaching culture – force employees into read-only community access for the first 3 months. and pop quizes! #
  • @guyma I’m all for straddling product / community fence. I just dont’ think it can happen from within product group 🙂 #
  • GeekPAC fundraiser update: over 40% there! http://tinyurl.com/5lz8as come on, peeps! #
  • @shellynoel @amcpherson I wish I were going to see Radiohead tomorrow night 🙁 #
