Bill Johnston: Online Community Strategy

I live in Fairfax, CA with my lovely wife and 2 year old daughter. They are both awesome.

I work for Forum One Communications as the Director of Community and Research. I write the Online Community Report blog and newsletter. I run the OC Research Network, and conduct research on topics like online community metrics, ROI, and marketing via social media. I also plan and host conferences about online community, like the recent Online Community Unconference. I enjoy my job very much.

I have worked for Autodesk, TechRepublic.com (grew it from 0 to 2mm), and I built eframe.net (it is really ugly now) waaayyyy back in the day. I have had a blast along the way.

I also direct a professional networking group called the Online Community Roundtable in the Bay Area which meets quarterly, and always starts with cocktails.
