\"\"<\/a>On Tuesday, Oct. 23, from 1-2 p.m. New York City time (10 a.m. Oregon time), I’ll be leading the #<\/strong>commbuild<\/strong><\/strong><\/a> tweetchat on Twitter.<\/p>\n

The #<\/strong>commbuild<\/strong><\/strong><\/a> tweetchat is focused on building and sustaining online communities for nonprofits, charities, schools, government programs and other mission-based initiatives, though some corporate folks frequently show up and share.<\/p>\n

The focus of the chat tomorrow will be on cultivating leaders in online communities. <\/strong>A lively, information-rich online community rarely happens because of just one person answering questions, inviting and welcoming new members, facilitating discussions, regularly introducing new topics, etc. Rather, they happen because of a number of people taking on these roles, officially and unofficially. But how do you cultivate and keep such online leaders?
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Participating in the tweetchat is simple<\/strong>: you log into Twitter<\/a>, and then you click on the #<\/strong>commbuild<\/strong><\/strong><\/a> link or do a search on the term #commbuild on Twitter. All messages with the #commbuild tag will appear. Keep reloading the tweets and you will see all new messages. To respond, just choose a message and click on “Reply”. Be sure to put the tag #commbuild in your message, however, so everyone else can see it too!<\/p>\n

The questions I’m going to be asking on this Tweetchat (subject to change!):<\/p>\n

Q1 What is an online community leader, from your POV? Define who that would be.\u00a0 <\/em>
\nQ2 How do you recognize some1 emerging as an online community leader? <\/em>
\nQ3 When do you move some1 from unofficial leadership to official (written task description, dates of commitment, etc.) <\/em>
\nQ4 Have you ever made some1 an official community leader (facilitator, chat host, etc.) & regretted it? What happened\/why? <\/em>
\nQ5 Have some1 ever asked to be made an official community leader & you have had to say no? What happened\/why? <\/em>
\nQ6 Should community leaders have term expiration dates, or do you just keep them as long as they are around? <\/em>
\nQ7 How do you recognize\/reward community leaders for their contributions? <\/em><\/p>\n

In addition to this being a terrific learning experience regarding how to cultivate community leaders in online communities, it’s also a great learning experience if you are new to Twitter or to tweetchats<\/a>.<\/p>\n
