🔥 slack is perhaps the tool for fast-moving teams, but why doesn’t it work to create community for us?

🔥Why can a messenger like whatsapp, slack, telegram work very well for nerdy niche communities?

🔥What do you need to have to make people start networking? (if that is important to you)

Leslie and me discuss this and more 🙂 Dig and comment back!

* fewer people in the space

* need for good communication tools (no, it’s not email…😉)

* need for community to stand out and add the 2 second value besides office (community)

* need for competent back-office to secure demand - via external bookings and easy payments

Many are jumping into community building at the moment - which is super-nice… But what is the right platform? 🤷‍♂️

* Why is slack a Fiat? 😇

* And when is a Fiat right for you? 🙂

* Can you compare a community platform to a Volvo station wagen?

* And what kind of community platform builds are more like Ferraris - good for the ego with a big wallet, but maybe just for a few?

But what happens with:

* Leadership?

* Office rituals?

* The team when we use social and community tools?

* Information security?

* Freedom - more, less or just different?

(at haaartland we operated like this before the pandemic - for us at has meant happier 👩‍👩‍👧‍👦 families, less stressful commutes, more autonomy and more collaboration). Would be super to have your ten cents in the comments. What has been your 🙂 experience?

* What components are there to make it as narcotic as it is?

* How has it changed the fundamentals in society (hint: people suddenly spending + 2 hours a day there, day in and day out)

* How can you use it yourself?

* What are the ethics involved?

* Discussion about tools such as #slack, Whatsapp, Facebook, Mighty Network, forums and blogs - which ones have a true social feed? Consequence?

Why this podcast?

* A LOT of us are looking at tools for passion businesses or just plain communities

* You can run a community with - or without - a true social feed. Ideally you should make the choice based on insight. E.g highly engaged nerds (like me) might be fine running a community without a true social feed, like a slack community. But a more loosely built community - like a passion community or a community of practise - might be better of with the more visual social feed

* Arguably the true social feed has changed humanity - society, democracy, families, the fundaments of marketing, the attention and health of almost all of humanity. So well, it needs to be discussed 🤷‍♂️

Disclaimer

haaartland (where I am a co-founder) is built around a true social feed thinking, so there is a bit of pushing for the social feed in the pod, sorry about that 😬
