I recently finished up reading my copy of Patrick’s book Managing Online Forums.

I’m especially glad that I did read it end to end because it had some of the most useful, insightful, and practical advice related to managing online communities that I’ve ever seen in a book.

In the book Patrick brings forth his real-world experiences running a plethora of major and successful forums and communities online.

You will learn about launching your community, attracting people to it, picking the right software, setting guidelines, keeping the site interesting and much more.

Managing Online Forums: Everything You Need to Know to Create and Run Successful Community Discussion Boards is by far the most comphrensive book for community management I’ve read to date and I highly suggest anyone who is considering starting a community or even season veterens pick this selection up because it has something inside it for everyone.

500 Tweets!

Right now I am sitting at 498 tweets. Once I send this link out I’ll be at 499.

Tweet me @rayrayangel with what my 500th Tweet should be about and at 6pm Eastern I’ll pick one and get them a piece of MOSH mobile swag.

Long time friend Patrick has finally let the cat out of the bag on his blog about the book he has been working on for a while.

“Managing Online Forums” is something Patrick has been working on for a while and I know he has finally put all of those thoughts down on the printed page for the benefit of everyone running an online community.

If you are looking to design and launch a community, develop guidelines, find moderators, promote your site, keep it active, or even generate revenue then this book is a MUST READ.

I can think of no one better to share thoughts on communities then Patrick and his book being published by AMACOM is avaliable on Amazon right now as a pre-order.
