Q1. What is a private community? And how does it differ from a public community? #cmgrhangout
1) Not sure I'm answering the Q, but I love a private community. Best for collaboration, ppl more willing to speak up. #cmgrhangout- Would you ever pay to follow someone's Twitter account? #cmgrhangout
@JennTelligent That is a great answer, and so tru! People are more willingly to be open with a private community, more secure #cmgrhangout
@JennTelligent Yes, I have found generally (not always) the closed communities delve deeper into subjects #cmgrhangout.
A1. A community protected by password that requires some type approval of membership. Some public comm. can have private areas. #cmgrhangout
Simple definition of a private community from @maddiegrant: you need a login to participate. #cmgrhangout
@JennTelligent Would need a free trial first to determine value for myself... #cmgrhangout- Private communities are behind a password, says @maddiegrant #cmgrhangout
A1. Private communities (in my exp) may be established for a specific purpose + set to last for a finite amt of time #cmgrhangout- A1. Private communities can extend brand building by giving brand ambassadors more direct contact with employees and even tasks #cmgrhangout
A1: Private communities are for limited time, niche purposes. i.e. beta testing a game. Should be part of larger community too #cmgrhangout- @CASUDI Yes! That's what u need to consider when u set out to create a group. Is ur goal best suited to a private cmty? #cmgrhangout
- @CASUDI @JennTelligent Private communities can be considered more of a safe space and encourage people to share more openly. #cmgrhangout
@tamcdonald Behind a password, has a sense of exclusivity, has valuable, engaging content behind the login. #cmgrhangout
@tamcdonald A1) An example is MSFT Certified Trainers community. They get exclusive content, opportunities dedicated support. #cmgrhangout- @CASUDI What's your goal? Generally, start out prvt, take advantage of exclusivity. Let mbrs kno will go pub @ some pt. #cmgrhangout
A1: The sensitivity of the content can dictate the need for private vs public. #cmgrhangout- A1. If you require an NDA you probably need a private community. #cmgrhangout
Q2. What are some ways associations can convert listserves into communities? #cmgrhangout
"Usability is really important in communities." —@maddiegrant #cmgrhangout
usability in communities - not as easy to alert people as on a listserv - #cmgrhangout #cmgrhangout
@maddiegrant talking about shifting listservs into private communities & being prepared to lose some subscribers #cmgrhangout
