Community is built over time one relationship at a time. Community is built by people helping other people with no intention to seek something in return. It's tough to gauge that online. Sometimes that happens in group settings like at Church or though sports. Those are the 2 places I've seen it personally.

It also seems to happen online, but it's tough here. Creating shared experiences in an online only world limits our ability to create real community - in my opinion. That's why we've got to try and get out to meet people in person.

Wow, I wish I had community friends like that. I get what your meaning by this. Having a group of people that are all working together for a common goal and support one another can make for a great culture and that's something that we need in the business world and the real world.

Sometimes I think the more technologically-advanced we get, Roger, the closer we become. It doesn't have to be the end of family, and friends, and inter-connections. Instead, and as you pointed out so well, it can simply be the start of something even stronger.

You nailed it again, my friend! You know my three favorite c-words are Content, Context and Community. Content may be king but context is the glue and community is the soul.

Bravo!

I don't think it's a dirty word at all. Community is at the heart of everything we do, whether in business or in our personal lives. Everything we do and say is a reflection of that. Building communities, fostering relationships — real relationships — means everything. If I have a chance to reach out to someone, be it a neighbor or a friend online, I'll do it. Just like commenting here: the virtual version of lending your neighbor a cup of sugar. So, all of those things: SEO, ROI, “the conversation”, and all of that other gobbledeygook, do they mean anything? Sure, but ultimately, success in your business, nor in life, won't come without a strong community to back you up.

Community powers alll those other “magical” words and brings them to life. Without community, you have nothing.

Thanks, Danny, for reminding us all it's important to actively engage in our communities.

Excellent post. Conversation and community is good for business – noise, fad and all!
