It’s business time! and the decisions about building community.
DN: The site now has a very active community, and all of the multi-directional communication that happens really makes the site what it is. How did you help grow this community?
SW: I don’t have a list of conscious decisions that I’ve made, or that Candy’s made to examine the community in terms of fostering growth. We have a few guidelines that we follow, but we don’t plot the growth of the site or examine it deliberately. The interesting thing about the community that reads our site, and the part of that community I am the most in awe of and most impressed by, is the fact that the people who read and comment value the community as much as we do.
