In today's Masters of Community episode, you'll hear from Community Industry expert of 20 years and native New Zealander, Sarah Hawk. Hawk began working as a software developer at Xerox in the 90's, where her interest in the tech community was sparked and led her to eventually landing the role as a community manager. Her experience as a community manager at SitePoint network, head of Community at FeverBee, and an online community consultant finally led her to migrating to Discourse in 2016 as the Head of Community. Hawk discusses the shift that's occurred from necessary, organic, and authentic communities to communities starting with a business goal and focused on statistics and metrics. Hawk also talks about the challenges and courage it takes to step down and move on from a community. Finally, Hawk shares the steps for figuring out a community strategy, beginning with your research, finding the fundamental need, and being a successful community manager. As well as how to find your community platform, make the most of it, and the most important metrics to measure. Notable Quotes Referring to Community Managers: “I think without the right kind of personality or the right kind of character, and depending on the kind of community, we know that the fundamentals they've got to have good product knowledge, and they've got to have the respect of users is all of those standard things that we talk about all the time, but they've also just got to have that something magic that works for that kind of audience. They need to be approachable, but knowledgeable. Right.” “My number one metric would be DAU over MAU. So calculating your stickiness. Calculate your monthly active users and dividing by your daily active users. So yeah, the stickiness of your community, because speaks across the board to a good experience, right? If people keep coming back, they either love it and love everything, or they love one thing so much that they're willing to overlook the parts that they don't like. And so the holy grail of stickiness would be, you know, around the 30% mark, but it's extremely rare to see that.”

Some quotes that stick out for me in the interview: “In the end it's all about people.” This was in response to what makes great leadership. “The secret to Boundless Teams is finding the right balance on developing individuals, creating learning and growth opportunities for the team, and achieving the business goals.” It's a balance between task and people. “It's easy to be the leader you want to be when things are going well. It's much tougher to be the leader you want to be when things go wrong. That's where I focus my growth edge.” Keeping composure and focus in tough times is the real test of leadership.

Notification policies seem simple on the surface, but are actually very complicated. Ben announced that November was Tuple’s best month ever for marketing! But now, he is approaching the alpha for Tuple and will focus his attention on product management. Ben wants to figure out what works and what doesn’t.

In your opinion why is it a good option for startups? 2:55 – Guest: Angular is a very good choice. 3:55 – Guest: If you are not familiar with these concepts or a seasoned developer then it can be difficult and complex to get started. It really depends on what you are trying to build. 4:47 – Chuck: Once you get rolling with it then you run into limitations with it. If you need something simple and fast it’s really nice. 5:08 – Guest: Yes. Trying to find your market niche. Angular is very simple to transfer. Angular has a great community. There are some problems, and we know it. Like the whole mess with versions also... 6:27 – John: Can you elaborate a little? 6:34 – Guest: Yes, if you want to be in the latest technologies...so sometimes you get into a situation when you wan to have some libraries installed and you cannot do that.

A New York City Dive Bar in Online Community Form

What if the intro song to Cheers wasn’t about a bar, but instead about an online community where everyone knows your name? That’s what Stacy Horn created when she launched Echo, an online community that sought to connect New Yorkers. But Echo wasn’t Stacy’s first go at creating a community. While studying at NYU’s ITP (Interactive Telecommunications Program), she was working in the telecommunications department at Mobil and had an idea to connect employees and improve processes by way of an internal community. The community failed but throughout this conversation, Stacy’s learnings from this first experience come up over and over again: the importance of actively seeking out a diversity of voices and experiences to be represented in your community, having a clear intention and set of community guidelines, and creating a space for the best in people. Today, Echo is nearly 30 years old. Its archives are on record with the New York Historical Society and the historians that look back on its conversations will be in for treat. In fact, it’ll be like they stumbled into a neighborhood bar full of people that have been chatting with each other for years. Stacy also shares: Why she failed when it came to starting an internal community for Mobil’s employees The costs and infrastructure behind Echo, including an NYC street excavation How she made Echo an inclusive space for women Echo as an archive to pivotal moments in NYC’s history, including 9/11 Our Podcast is Made Possible By… If you enjoy our show, please know that it’s only possible with the generous support of our sponsor: Higher Logic. Big Quotes On building an internal community for Mobil employees in the 80s: “The reason my [internal community] failed was that a number of [employees] across the country had just decided they were going torpedo it and just not participate. They were going to make sure it didn’t work. The reason they did that was not because they were bad, evil people trying to destroy my corporate dreams. What I saw as a way of finding problems and fixing them, they saw as exposing their mistakes.” –@stacyhorn On starting a community based on your passions: “People will sometimes ask me if they should start a community … tied to their passion. … My answer is usually that, well, if you start a community, you’ll still talk about that passion but you’ll have a whole new passion that’ll suck up your time and that passion is community management. It takes you away from that hobby, that love, that passion, and puts you into that seat where you have to maintain the environment so that other people can have that same passion that you once had and hopefully still do.” –@patrickokeefe On where she was hoping to see more progress: “It isn’t the internet or any of our tools that have failed. It is still us. It still comes right back to us and the people that are spreading ugliness. It’s them, not the internet. It’s a shame that they have a platform that they didn’t have before which allows them to grow. Again, the ugliness is in them.” –@stacyhorn About Stacy Horn Stacy Horn, who Mary Roach has hailed for “combining awe-fueled curiosity with topflight reporting skills,” is the author of six nonfiction books. Her newest is Damnation Island: Poor, Sick, Mad & Criminal in 19th Century New York. Her previous books include Imperfect Harmony: Finding Happiness Singing with Others, Unbelievable: Investigations into Ghosts, Poltergeists, Telepathy, and Other Unseen Phenomena from the Duke Parapsychology Laboratory, and The Restless Sleep: Inside New York City’s Cold Case Squad, which received starred reviews from both Kirkus and Publisher’s Weekly. Over the years Horn has produced pieces for the NPR show, All Things Considered, including the 1945 story of five missing children in West Virginia, the Vatican’s search for a patron saint of the internet, and an overview of cold case investigation in the United States. Horn is also the founder of the New York City-based social network Echo. Echo was home to many online media firsts, including the first interactive tv show, which was co-produced with the then SciFi Channel.

Audentio, the parent of ThemeHouse, is a forums-focused digital agency, with high profile clients like AVForums, Mac Rumors and Android Forums. There aren’t too many (any?) agencies focused this seriously on forums, working at such a high level. Founder and owner Mike Creuzer has been working in forums since he was 11, starting on an MSN TV, and they’ve had a massive impact on his life. Though currently focused on XenForo, Mike and Audentio have worked with many forum platforms over the years, giving him an interesting perspective on the space, and where it’s headed. Plus: How a Harry Potter forum taught him more about being a person, than about Harry Potter Why being a developer-friendly forum platform is important The forum platform Audentio is migrating people from the most Our Podcast is Made Possible By… If you enjoy our show, please know that it’s only possible with the generous support of our sponsor: Open Social. Big Quotes “Being [in forums when I was] 11 or 12, I learned how to formulate an argument and present it. The good thing about forums is you actually get to take your time researching, or putting together some type of thought. … Not only did I learn about managing forums, but interpersonal skills.” -@mikecreuzer “I don’t know where I would be without forums. I don’t know. It’s my career. It’s what I do. I wanted to play baseball, but instead I got forums. That’s just the way life works." -@patrickokeefe “[At some point, vBulletin wasn’t giving developers] the tools that they need. That’s the thing a lot of software companies forget. Who do you have to make happy first? The developers and the designers. They are the ones who are actually going to build out the third party resources. Every forum that I know of has at least a couple of add-ons that are third party. The developers are the ones who actually go out there and build those tools. And the developers are what make your community sustainable and powerful and a place where people will sometimes come to your platform just because of these certain features and tools. And I feel like [vBulletin] didn’t listen to what the developers were needing but other platforms were, and it wasn’t even a hard decision for a lot of people [to leave them].” -@mikecreuzer About Mike Creuzer Mike Creuzer is a UI/UX and digital strategist from northern Illinois in the United States, and has worked in communities and forums since he was around 11. It started as a hobby, and after wanting to grow his forum and getting quotes for astronomical sums of money (that he’d later grow up to learn were quite reasonable), and being a kid unable to afford these quotes, Mike set out to learn the skills himself. Some 15 years later, he now runs Audentio, a small agency that solves problems all over the world, most known for their forum-focused services offered under the ThemeHouse name.

My guest for Episode 58 of The Startup Playbook Podcast is Ivan Lim, the Co-founder and CEO of Brosa, Ivan Lim. Ivan's first startup, Vinspi, was an online men's tailored clothing store which went through the AngelCube accelerator program. Ivan then moved on from running his own startup to joining Elto (then known as Tweaky) as their "Founder's Apprentice" before going on to become the Head of Marketing at Elto, which was later acquired by GoDaddy. He then used his experience to become the Co-founder and CEO of Brosa, an e-commerce business delivering designer furniture and homewares direct to customers. In 2015, just 18 months after launching, Brosa raised $2M in Series A funding from Airtree Ventures, one of the leading VC funds in Australia and have since gone on to continue scaling their growth with a team of over 70 people with multiple offices in Melbourne, China and India. In this episode we talk about seeking rejection, the importance of being intentional with culture, the future of e-commerce and the fundraising process for early stage startups.

32: Microsoft Spartan & Internet Explorer

The Web Platform Podcast

The Internet Explorer team at MIcrosoft are making waves in the developer community. The Internet Explorer browser (AKA IE or Internet Exploder) has a long and jaded history. Newer developers may not recall, but fifteen years ago Internet Explorer was arguably THE best browser experience we had. IE had some basic developer tools, it practically invented AJAX with its ActiveX Technology, and it was the standard that corporate web development was measured by. Then, something happened. Firefox was born. The Firefox browser, created by Mozilla, in contrast to IE was rapidly developed and it worked with standards bodies to guide feature implementation. One key success factor for Mozilla was that Firefox was an open source community driven project. Microsoft did not follow the same philosophies as Mozilla in their development. They opted to continue using proprietary technologies and continued on the path that led them to success for so many years. The community began to resent Microsoft & Internet Explorer because Internet Explorer was, and as of today, stil is the default browser for its Windows Operating System. Since its creation, Windows has the majority market share in the corporate & government spaces. For better or for worse, the most successful development companies traditionally have targeted these markets and related sub markets because they typically yield the most profits comparatively to their costs. The Safari & Opera browsers also fell in line with Firefox as far as standards implementation. Some extra code is needed to make everything work the same across browsers & devices but it's minimal in effort. This ‘cross-browser' coding is not as insignificant with Internet Explorer. Developers now had to build extra code and spend extra time needed to support Internet Explorer which cost companies a ton of money. Something happened to Microsoft in recent years that slowly changed the way they looked at the business of web & mobile development. Microsoft decided to invest in open source. They created Microsoft Open Tech. They adopted JQuery as an officially supported JavaScript framework in their products. They began taking an active role in standards bodies and implementation of open standards. Microsoft also started doing something that surprised the developer community. They started telling the public what they were building into Internet Explorer as well as the development status of those features. The IE team began adding support & tooling for popular open source projects for their .NET platform. One of the most surprising moves by Microsoft is that The Internet Explorer team publically empowered developers & users to voice the features they want in the next versions of the Internet Explorer Platform experience. Jacob Rossi, Charles Morris, & Adrian Bateman join The Web Platform Podcast to chat about the future of the web and how Microsoft is returning to its former glory and, arguably, leading the way in developer happiness. Microsoft is making massive improvements in the experience of Internet Explorer. On top of that they are actively assisting companies with the upgrade process and involving users in a Technical Preview Program of Windows 10 where users can help improve the product before the official release. This preview has a new browser alongside the modern Internet Explorer. This new browser, code named ”Project Spartan”, is free of the old Internet Explorer legacy and ushers in a new way to think about MIcrosoft's Web Platform..

The approach that John recommended 2 weeks ago is now working for Derick as he focuses on one project for one week.Derick’s description of his production schedule is a lesson in itself to all entrepreneurs who plan their daily and weekly schedules. Derick’s estimation on how long a project would take was off just a little. So, how long does it take to write a book?Do you ever get a potential client who says, “I want a web site. How long will it take to build it?” Capture all of the details to a project that you possibly can. The accuracy of your estimation is counting on it.Derick has the rest of the year planned out. He is focused, yet consultation is getting a little “scary” as he pushes up against that deadline.Josh has “too much going on right now” and has decided to quit SitePoint. This successful EntreProgrammer seems to be constantly choosing his successes. What happens when you succeed? Then what do you do? Enter Marcus Aurelius.It’s extremely important that entrepreneurs learn how to deal with the consequences of success. John talks about this in some detail. Ironically, success can destroy the best of entrepreneurs.

The EntreProgrammers Episode 22 Brains Are For What?Derick takes control of the show, but appears to be unplugged. Ah, yes, the wonders of technological advancement.And into John’s book they go; the editors have spoken and John defends his writing approach. And what’s that, brains are…?The editors think that it’s a bit much, in places, needs a trim. Josh quickly jumps in with the solution and John saves all. Derick recommends that John keeps all of his information, but in a slightly different way.The EntreProgrammers are on the attack – solution time.And if anything needs a solution, it’s how to pay bills; to budget or not to budget; that is the question, here.John explains in detail that there are times when a person should watch her/his dollar very closely; but, there are also times when a person can’t really afford to watch her/his budget closely, nor does it pay to do so.This is The EntreProgrammers’ financial philosophy – some good advice, here. Another interesting point of view comes from Derick who has become, perhaps, the wealthiest member in his family, now.Not only does Derick explore marketing tactics, but also explains that you must learn how to deal with the money that you make when becoming a successful entrepreneur. Once again this marketing warrior teaches us through his good example.Derick tells it all; information to learn.“Have you ever played Cash Flow 101?” John asked.

What fears do you have that are related to your profession, or the profession that you plan to enter? Do you face these fears or shy away, and is there a way to turn them into a productive tool for your success? We'll discuss some examples and possibilities in this episode. Links from the show: Everything You Know About CSS is Wrong! A book by Rachel Andrew and Kevin Yank from Sitepoint I felt that this book had some great lessons to offer in the way of moving from a table-based workflow to CSS. The topics were covered well, and explained in enough detail for most to follow. The only problem I have with the book is the title. It lead me to believe that there is some new revelation in the book about how CSS code should be written, thus targeting avid users of the technology. After reading the book, I felt it was more a guide designed for those users who are NOT yet familiar with the ways of CSS. I would recommend this publication for those looking to get into the game of CSS coding as opposed to a completely table-based workflow. In the Bullpen: Photoshop Disasters
