Twitter And Community @thinkmaya

#iranelection rendered distance irrelevant

#motrinmoms rendered time irrelevant

Twitter is one wild CRAZY party drunks, weirdoes, celebs …

Communities People+purpose

Intense Social space on all the time, everywhere microblogging – 140 char

Here in lies the power amplification

Twitter is one wild AWESOME party if you go in with a goal/purpose

Why party? Passion/purpose?

Get your visiting card Twitter name, profile/bio,linkedin, video

Find a few people at the party Just a few – twellow, twibes, twitdir

Find conversations: listen #chats, search terms

Let conversations lead you to people Know them, niche networks, local tweetups, #chats

Let people lead you to conversations @ReplyAll, conferences

Share your story Thoughts, posts, blog, videos

Engage Personal level, discussions

Start your own party size does not matter

Build a collective story Take it local, build a network online, tweetups, barcamps

Invite more people in! Family tweetups, zappos

Not so crazy after all? it all makes sense … hmm…

What are your communities about? that is the start
