I was recently interviewed for the new ReadWriteWeb Guide to Online Community Management, which was released on May 14, so you can find tidbits from my experience sprinkled throughout the report.
The report has some excellent insights. However, my favorite thing about this report is that it isn’t just a PDF document, it comes with a companion site, the Community Management Aggregator, which provides great ongoing resources for people interested in community management. Read my review of the report and learn how to purchase a copy from ReadWriteWeb.

I had an interesting conversation with a client recently who was expressing doubt about whether their audience, less technical business professionals over 40, was participating in any meaningful way in social media. As a result of this conversation, I spent some time digging into the data, and I wanted to share what I learned about demographics for online communities, Twitter, Facebook, and other social media. Read the blog post to see the data.
