I haven't joined yet but I might if available. I would like to include in some blogging on metrics.

It is fostering relationships with people, keeping them engaged and encouraged and letting them know that you value their presence, that makes them stay. I know because I do it daily and it takes major commitment to the community. I’m pleased to see the importance of the role played by the community manager mentioned in this report.

I was surprised about the email communication driving 7 times more engagement but that's only because email is not something I tend to value in my personal communication mix. It's a reality check that many, if not most community members are likely still using email as their main tool. In terms of recognizing members who participate - specifically those with high quality connections and communications - would it make sense to approach them to become content creators, in a more formal sense? Is that recognition? I think it would be for me. This research has really sparked a flurry of ideas for me so thanks again! Thanks so much for this Bill.
