Your online community: be a gardener, don’t practice bonsai

Your online community: be a gardener, don’t practice bonsai

my notes ( ? )

"Your community, as it grows, is not really your choice. ... Your first 10 members will define your 100 will define your 1,000 will define your 1,000,000. The only choice you have as a business and as a host is who you invite to be your first 10-100 members. After that, you sort of have to get out of the way and then meet the needs of this new thing you have created.... building an social networking service in stages is preferable... Users don’t like their user experience dictated to them, they want their user experience and preferences to define the innovation of the social network." - What makes an online community work | Socialmedia.biz
