I’ve just been reading (again) James Old (Pricewaterhouse Coopers) presentation (from 2001) regarding how to make money outta Online Communties. I’ve split the blog report into bits to make it more manageable and bloggy-like. These are the points raised. 1. What is the relationship between community and revenue? At its heart, the term ‘community’ implies…
2. What are the features of an online community?Now we move onto “the community hexagon” which nicely laid out and easy to understand. Let me give you a quick run down on these points – precisely tailored content is compelling content – not the mess of some portals – and advertising is an important form…
3. Translating community into revenue and profit (woohoo the good stuff!) The six elements of the ‘hexagon’ describe what community looks like, but the real question is how community translates into revenue and profit.

If I ever liked sport – which I doubt- I certainly didn’t after these gigs. “No I don’t know the score, I film it, not watch it!”. However rumour has it people do like sport – and particularly rumours about sports. Deadspin…

I see the words ‘online community’ and I hesitate before clicking. In my experience a lot of “online communities” are one way dispersal of information, with feedback forms and email-in-options only.
