As social media moves into the common marketing vernacular, more people will start drawing these comparisons. Until then, you are on the cutting edge! You draw a great comparison.

Interesting to hear your perspective w/ grammar school. @ Dana - I'm gonna check that stuff out over the weekend or smtg. It does seem like they want a 'content sharing' community to develop as you mentioned. I'll let you know about the plugin :). @Lori,

Here is a link to their blog announcement: http://cli.gs/LWzrG6 I haven't used many, yet, but my initial thought was that they were trying to make it more of a community. I have, however, started reviewing LinkedIn Q&A sections for answers, when prior to the past few months, I would go to a forum. One final thought... We are herd creatures who like to be heard! I look forward to learning more about your WordPress Membership Plugin.

What community features is Li developing? On a related note, I never visit Li unless it's to add someone as a contact ... seems like it has a competitive advantage in differentiating itself as the business/jobs network site, no? And you're totally right about us wanting relationships - it's boring just being on your own constantly. So thanks for making this more enjoyable :D.

Thank you so much for the link, especially in such a great post. I tend to remember my college years as a series of (mostly) boring lectures, so re-defining them as blogs or forums is really, really helpful. Good to keep in mind that different teachers have different goals in mind, and different ways of achieving those goals. That applies to elementary ed too :) Hi, Gab & Tamar!

I LOVED the metaphor of comparing the styles of the classes with marketing. The professors' styles feel like a comparison of LinkedIn and Facebook. One gets to know the people on Facebook better because of the depth of sharing. LinkedIn has its advantages for its target population, and with the business/profile approach, respect is a result. Interestingly, LinkedIn is developing more "community" features which draws people together. Individual vs. membership blogging? We are herd creatures and desire relationship. Membership blogging partially meets our needs for community. On the flip side, many desire to have their own voice heard and will continue one-person blogging. Also, if one is considering SEO as part of that strategy, they'll need to blog on their own site. Caveat to membership and community participation is that one can spend so much time commenting and interacting that he/she doesn't spend the time developing their own content (confession). Again, super post! You make me wish I was back in school! This is an awesome post, and I was thrilled to see the link to Lori Bourne’s site!
