You hit the nail on the head when you noted "Interview someone" and "Blog an event". I have found both of these methods have been very effective and look forward to using your other techniques for future blog posts. Thank you for the Paul, for the blogging advise.

That's much clearer and you're right, it makes sense even for big websites/networks. For info, I try to translate at best in French the 'community lessons' series on this blog : http://blogs.lexpress.fr/e-veille-marketing/ Hi Carlos, thanks very much for your answer.

For instance, I recently set up a meeting with a high school journalism teacher and scheduled a presentation to her class about what our company is doing, new media and how they can participate by shooting video, etc. Perhaps this point makes more sense for a small community such as ours but I think it could work anywhere. How about setting up a meeting at a local coffee shop with your local Twitter or Ning network. Talk about what you're working on, what they are up to. I think this could engender a stronger sense of community even if this community primarily exists online.

Could you give more details about this lesson ? Tx I am not sure to get the 1st point ‘You must engage the community in person’. Could you give more details about this lesson ?
