It's amazing how popular social networking has become, and yet so few "how to" resources are available. I was assigned the task of launching an online forum for our new Web 2.0 platform we implemented to support a private portal we have for our customers. I had no experience in this area, so I frantically searched for anyone and anything that might be useful. I would highly recommend Managing Online Forums because I found it to contain a wealth of educational and practical insight. It enabled me to develop my project plan for developing and executing our online communities. I also learned a whole new language I never knew existed that makes me sound like an expert in this field. Partick shares his best practices that will help you every step of the way. I keep it within arms length because I refer to it often.
