    Most Communties are Designed for Lurkers  – I posted this on ThinkUpMtl

    I’ve been a community builder and manager for a very long time and I have worked on and with many different kinds of communities and unfortunately many of these communities do not stand the test of time.

Believe it or not it is easier answer than you think, it just takes time and patience, which most communities owners unfortunately don’t have.
