Paper Abstract:
|
After a short introduction into the history of online communities, the two main naming conventions (online community versus virtual community) are critically discussed. Then four important definitions of online/virtual communities are reviewed in contrast. A collection of best practices in regard to design principles and success factors for online community building completes the paper. |
