Hinweis der Redaktion
- Social media/web 2.0 – tools that facilitate communication, no longer just a collection of websites. You no longer have to have web design skills to get something online. Collaboration. Interactivity.
- At the top of the pyramid are a small number of creators, including your most influential community members. They are your evangelists, most ardent fans, and passionate contributors of new ideas.Next are those who tend to comment on, though generally not contribute, ideas and discussion threads already put forth by others. These individuals are essential for creating a sense of dialogue across different members of the community, for helping to refine ideas and make them better.One step down are people who vote and tag items in your community. They express their preferences and opinions in the lowest-commitment way possible, but are still engaged.Last but not least are the bulk of your community visitors: people who are just visiting, consuming content but not participating per se.
- You can send questions to presenters even if not present, widen discussion to outside world, easy way to get out there related articles, presentations, videos, podcasts

- Squidoo – easy way to create website on particular issue, interest, topic. They call such websites lenses.
- Can see what others are readingCan see who is reading the same things as you and who you are influencing.Can be built collaboratively by groups of researchersCan find out what others think of resources – read reviews etc.
