Craig Newmark Unlocks the Secrets to Building a Community

Craig Newmark Unlocks the Secrets to Building a Community

Nice set of guidelines from the original master, Craig Newmark (of Craigslist). Key points include the importance of an ongoing feedback loop and the creation of a non-exclusive environment that encourages a wide range and degree of participation. It’s interesting that, in a time when so many businesses are looking for the secret to social media success online, Craigslist rarely figures into the discussion, when in many senses it’s a precursor to modern social media practices.
