Community Management
Nick Milton : The focus of a social network is social. The focus of a community of
practice, is practice. The social network helps build, maintain and strengthen social
ties. The community of practice helps build, maintain and strengthen knowledge of
practice. Sure, there may be some overlap, but the basic purpose is different. http://www.linkedin.com/groups/difference-between-social-networks-communities-

Dr.-Ing. Josef Hofer-Alfeis, 2014 - 26
Measurement and evaluation:
“The indicators we use for measuring this would be the usual ones, i.e. vibrancy,
growth, knowledge products generated, value identified by tracking its use through
testimonials and stories from members”
What can be systematic mechanisms that target collaboration and cooperation functions?
How can a knowledge network address the requirements of connect, share, and
collaborate evenly?
… And absolutely go for cooperation above collaboration because cooperation and co-
creation have the biggest learning effect. We promote learning projects (instead of
working groups, belonging anyway more to the vertical thinking). Learning projects
designed as learning journeys with truly challenging questions nobody can answer,
make great sense for a networked approach. Check GIZ and Learn4dev promoting the
concept of learning journeys. http://www.sdc-learningandnetworking-blog.admin.ch/

Hi Josef,
In the future, we plan to possibly implement ads which would be how we create revenue on Delicious.
As it currently stands, our main goal is to improve Delicious in an attempt to grow the service and
make the best possible experience for our users.
Rest assured that we have no plans to sell users data, but rather simply to monetize through
advertising as the site and user base continue to grow. Hope that helps! Matt

Europeans are nowadays rather sensitive for data and identity security issues.

Some Lessons Learned with online CoP communication
More reaction and better response
• by introducing yourself with respect to
the forum / community / knowledge area
• by refering to one or more contributions before
• by posting good questions with clear requirements and eventually
some context information
source, e.g. Burke, M. et al: „Introductions and Requests: Rhetorical Straegies that elicit
response in online-communities“, CMU Pittsburgh, via km4dev, 2007
examples
„I have been lurking for a few months ...“
“To join the nodding party, I'm nodding in agreement with both Nancy and Stephan: until you do not …”
“Working in research and development, the question on my mind was whether these are coherent teams of people …”
