The reading (Oatway, Jay, Apr 26, 2012, Mastering Story, Community and Influence : How to Use Social Media to Become a Socialeader Wiley, Hoboken. 97-109. ISBN: 9781119943457.) this week basically discusses online communities and how we can get involved. A few places to find a community …
- Check out bloggers, and interact with their site
- Professional groups (often through social media) some groups require permission, look for amount of members
- Topic chats e.g. twitter
when you find a site or community
- start following it
- keep database updated
- interact with community and be present
- foster relationships
- find other people to join community
A quote within our reading ‘We are judged by the company we keep. When combined, actions and relationships create a foundation for social capital.’ – Brian Solis. To me this refers to to communities online and how when we interact with them and form new relationships by communicating with the site we are creating a new form of society online.
In previous weeks we had to choose 5 potential communities, here are a few I came across.

https://letterboxd.com – a space to create a film diary, create a list, share with friends and follow others
