how to sustain online communities and discuss the challenges faced in managing online communities. Semantic Technologies CRM Customer evangelism Recruiting Evangelists Sustaining Evangelists Building a Self Sustaining Community On the Web Identifying Evangelists to Sustain An Online Community Forums are closed communities where most social interaction occurs by participants within the community. Starting a new community takes effort, companies have to focus on recruiting evangelists. Rewarding and giving evangelists responsibilities is the key to developing an active community. The starting point for any community is understanding a company's goals. A lot of forum communities are built to support their respective communities. Dell & Intuit provides two excellent examples of forum communities for product support. Loose communities that exist within blogs, and twitter and other social networking sites are difficult to identify because there is no one site, instead the community exists because of the social interaction between social media participants. Monitoring tools using semantic technologies are enabling companies to indentify community participants, and current discussions. Companies are starting to adopt CRM and business process management tools to manage the process of responding to evangelists within their community.
