I have been continuing my work with Yahoo Pipes to monitor various social media sites, blogs, and Twitter to find specific conversations.

I frequently get questions about careers in community management, and I recently gave a presentation on this topic at Oregon State University. The presentation covers several topics related to community management careers: defining community, community manager jobs (examples, job description and skills required, salaries), guiding principles, best practices, and more. You can see the slides from this presentation for more details.

If you made it this far down the newsletter, I wanted to thank you for taking the time to read it. You can also get most of this content and more frequent updates by subscribing to my RSS feed in a reader or by email. I also know that interests change and many people prefer to receive content via RSS, instead of email, so I will never be offended by people choosing to unsubscribe.
I plan to release these newsletters about once a month. Please feel free to send me feedback or suggestions for what you would like to see in future newsletters.
