What trends are on the horizon forcommunity management in 2013?
Social media adopts a Community approach “The blurring of social media and community will continue. While social media is widely accepted as part of the marketing mix, the approach on social media will be to create a more integrated community feel, rather than simply use the channel to push product.” Lisa Barnett Online Community Manager eModeration Photo: Karen_roe, Flickr

More Traffic More Success in 2013“We have just moved our community from a private community to a semi-public site.

We also gain the Twitter feed which is cool. ” Lee Roquet Bitcentral

Time is of The Essence“Since Ive been working in the GS community earlier this year, weve been able to improve our response time to community topics.
