Doug, I would prefer not to subscribe to any more blogs than necessary. However, I just looked at backtype. It looks very interesting. I have not had the chance to experiment with it much, but it appears that it should meet my needs and allow me to easily follow the comments posted on this blog (as well as others that I read). Although I still prefer the one click email subscription buttons that many blogs have, I think that this will work. Thanks a lot for pointing this out to me.

Whoops, once that last comment of mine goes through, please note that the second URL should start with “http://”, not “feed”. I copy n’ pasted from Safari which appears to append that in lieu of leaving the http alone.

Nathan: The website is powered by WordPress, so if you simply use a feed reader (e.g., Google Reader) you can safely subscribe to http://www.artofcommunityonline.org/comments/feed and see all comments that are submitted. Or, if you wanted to subscribe to this post, you could just append “/feed/” to the end of the post’s URL to subscribe to comments on it (so this post’s feed is feed://www.artofcommunityonline.org/2009/05/08/website-feedback-needed/feed/).

Make sense?

You could also use a system like BackType to keep track of your comments (see http://www.backtype.com/home/subscriptions to get started).

Hope that helps!

I know I am a little late getting my feedback in, but I just realized what feature is missing from this blog. It would be great if you could install a plugin that would allow me to subscribe to a certain post, so that I would get email notifications whenever somebody replies. Another feature that would be nice to have would be the ability to reply to specific comments.

Jono: I would look into installing the BackType plugin for WordPress. Obviously, this blog is already receiving Pingbacks from other blogs linking to its stories, but it will add that extra "something" to draw from Twitter, comments on other blogs pertaining to said pingbacks, etc.

It can both bring outside readers in AND cause readers of the site to expand their reading outside, from whence they will hopefully return with new and fresh ideas to share with all.

I think something along the lines of a "Where to start" or a "How-To" section would be great. My basis is for all those out there that have the drive to be leaders but have no idea how or where they should start, especially in creating strong communities. I can see a forum working for this, but the topics could get out of hand and I see these features/points as needing to be more focused.

Just a thought.

Cheers, David

In the same address that post above, I guess a site like http://ted.com but community-management oriented could be very useful. Or something like http://www.initmarketing.tv

I really love both sites

Although it has been said, I do like the idea of site "successfull-cases" oriented. Maybe a kind of wiki or so on

A forum could be useful, but, I guess this type of leadership is only learned by leading. Or studying how the others lead. For that, I'd like to see something like a compilation of sucessful cases.
