The document discusses how startups can use social media to build communities that support their products or services. It recommends starting small by focusing on one platform and being consistent in building a following over time. The key is engaging with others in the community by having a personality and sharing emotionally-connecting content. Tools like Twitter, Google+, and Pinterest searches can help find potential customers to target. Nurturing the community requires optimizing content for sharing, connecting users to each other through the product, and continually testing different strategies on social media. The most important things are focusing on consistency and tailoring the approach to the specific startup's community.
3. You don’t need to market it, right?
Marketing is for companies who have sucky
products. If you build something that is
amazing (think Flipboard or Instagram or
Instapaper) people will adopt it because it is
amazing. And you won’t have to do much
marketing, at least at the start.

Is your community International?
Are they on social at work or home?
What wording is best?
What gets your people emotional?
