Forum One is very pleased to announce that we’ve partnered with Linqia’s The Moderator Community. The Moderator Community is a gateway for community managers, group moderators and enthusiasts to connect with others and exchange knowledge, learn and ask questions. Our goal in partnering with the Moderator Community is to provide our readers with additional resources and a network of community professionals from around the world, in addition to our online community and social media research conducted through the Online Community Research Network (OCRN). This partnership will provide community professionals with an opportunity to connect, learn, and share best practices and community programs that are managed all over the world.
I have been especially excited about the possibility of working with The Moderator Community since hearing about the concept from Maria Sipka, CEO of Linqia and founder of the site.
Our partnership includes the following:
*Linqia will be the European representation for the Online Community Research Network (OCRN) and will be promoting our library of online community and social media research, conducted through the OCRN, which focuses on specific issues and topics in the online community and social media space. Some of our reports include: Online Community Metrics, Online Community ROI: Models and Reports, Social Media Ecosystems, Online Communities: Surviving & Thriving in the Downturn and more.
*The Moderator Community will give their social media guide (valued at $29.99) to all of the OC Report readers who become new members of their community. The social media guide includes advice on engaging in social media, with an emphasis on using social media for listening. It also features a categorized recommended reading list, a list of social media case studies, and a list of social media listening tools with explanations on each one.
*The Moderator Community and Forum One will co-host a free public webcast in the fourth quarter that delves into the most important and pressing issues that community and social media pros are facing.
*Forum One Networks and the OCRN will be featured sponsors of the Moderator Community and the Moderator Community will be featured as a sponsor of the Online Community Report Newsletter and a media sponsor at our Unconference Events.
We’re really excited for the opportunity to work with the Moderator Community and look forward to building a more global representation of community and social media pros who will share ideas, challenges and solutions that represent the online communities around the world.
