Tiger Direct just shipped a compact flash card in a not so compact box

I don’t get it…

I ordered a compact flash card from tiger direct, and they shipped it in a 12″x10″x4″ box, full of packing peanuts.

This is a TINY compact flash card.

Next Online Community Roundtable 11/28 @ WebEx in Santa Clara

The next Online Community Roundtable is this Weds, 11/28 @ WebEx in Santa Clara.

Email me if you would like an invitation.

What is the Online Community Roundtable, you ask? The Roundtables were created out of my frustration in finding current, relevant sources for community management and strategy, and the especially difficult time I had finding and connecting to peers. The Roundtables are an intentionally under the radar gathering of Online Community Pros to network, share best practices and discuss current challenges. We hold them every month or so throughout the bay area, and the groups size is generally 15-20 people.

Again, email me if you would like an invitation, or are interested in future roundtables.

Online Community ROI 2007 – Report Released

We publicly released the Online Community ROI report last week. The research project was conducted as part of the Online Community Research Network agenda, and was initially released to OCRN members in May. The study had many interesting findings, including:

• Only 22% of respondents could clearly articulate ROI on community efforts
• The majority of respondents gave a high priority to establishing an ROI model in the near term
• 49% were reporting some dimensions of value back to management on a monthly basis
• “Value” of online community efforts are contextual to an organizations goals and objectives
