So in the United States, people think nothing of paying plumbers, the people to whom we entrust our pipes, $50 to $100 per hour. This map includes the household economy, the unpaid community economy, the market economy, the illegal economy, the government economy, and the natural economy.

Founded on the sovereign’s need for approval during the contentious later years of the aristocracy (an approval that eventually was withdrawn), the public sphere served as a check on the state. Interest communities, forums, newsgroups, blogs, on the other hand, are sites for individuals who are generally not on intimate terms to encounter others, sometimes with the goal of making acquaintance, sometimes on a deliberately anonymous and ephemeral level. Whether network culture plants the seeds of greater democratic participation and deliberation, or whether it will only be used to mobilize already like-minded individuals, remains to be seen.

A busy week at FreshNetworks has meant that we’re a little later than expected bringing you the third in our series of Online Community Examples . Online communities in the not-for-profit sector
We’re written before about some great examples in this space, from the well-documented role of online communities in the Obama campaign , to Oxfam’s use of social media in the UK. After looking at examples in the retail and automotive industries, this week we are looking at examples from the not-for-profit sector.

What constitutes a healthy community?
In short (although we’ll deal with the long version too), it depends on what you (or your client) wants the online community to be doing, how the community feel about that, how much churn and spam there is, how the numbers reflect the KPIs set and how ‘happy’ the membership is.
When we say ‘happy’, it’s important to say that we mean happy as members of the community (happy that they are safe, respected and encouraged) rather than happy as people, even the best Image by ecstaticist via Flickr

In our first post on Communities of Practice (CoPs) we disabused ourselves of the confusion between a community and the platform that allows a community to interact together online.

In 2003, I was working on the community team at The LEGO Company, the maker of those fantastic and wonderfully ubiquitous plastic interlocking bricks. The Nintendo Wii game “No More Heroes” actually delivers their gameplay instructions in the form of a comic , which makes learning the button combinations part of the experience, rather than something to get through before the game actually begins.
Using comics for community work Community professionals have a range of activities they’re responsible for but one of the most foundational is the task of communication. During this period I had a unique challenge of trying to convince my colleagues, smart folks who were solely focused on kid oriented programs and projects that there was value in working with the Adult Fans of LEGO (AFOL).
