Different types of community plat forms

examples:
Bob's bulletin board - a personally owned community
Listserver - makes it easy to create mailing lists
Drkoop.com (health content) - has a community embedded, including scheduled chats with experts and general chats
educational communities - MUDs and MOOs

  • State clearly the purpose of the community
  • Consider the different user groups e.g. moderators and mediators help to govern the communities, professionals and lurkers
  • Participants - provide options to add pictures or other forms of self-representation
  • Critical mass is important
  • Netequitte
