short course for putting soul into the web. |

 |
| At last someone has written the handbook
for online community builders. Amy Jo Kim has the experience and perspective
to help all of us to understand in very pragmatic terms the best practices
for building successful and sustainable communities. This is a must read
for anyone building or managing an online community. |
|
|
 |
| If you're thinking about building an
online community, read this book before you think much further, because
the first thing Amy Jo Kim provides is a toolkit for how to think about
virtual communities. |
|
|
 |
| The definitive
"how-to" book for building online communities. If Prodigy had followed
Kim's advice back in 1994 and '95, AOL would be the orphan cousin today.
Excellent research has produced exhaustive details that anyone can understand
and follow. Superb! |
|
|
 |
| The best there is: practical and on-target. |

| If you're trying to develop a solid virtual community
on the web, in a game, or on an e-mail list, this is the ultimate resource
tool. |
