Gee, after looking at all the suggestions and not seeing the ones who host my sites, I'm concerned. I'm not unhappy with my hosting provider, but I may be paying more than I should. Can you give me some feedback on web.com and brinkster.com? I'm hosting a web based database ( Tutor/Mentor Program Locator ) on Brinkster and it is often very

I would encourage you to think of your challenge as a marketing strategy. How does your on-line community support the mission of your organization? Then, develop a 12 month calendar, creating events at key times each year that can draw people together in on-line forums, and in place-based forums.

I think that on-line fund raising should be part of the organization's entire on-line strategy. Thus, we're giving information and supporting volunteers and different tutor/mentor programs through the work we do on-line and in face to face forums.

I would like to invite any of you who are interested in furthering this concept to take a role in the quarterly Tutor/Mentor Conferences. You can see the on-line schedule at http://www.tutormentorconference.bigstep.com/generic54.html My goal is to draw bloggers, tech support, researchers and others into support of organizations doing volunteer based

I think that a social networking strategy combined with a traditional networking strategy has the best chance of building an on-line community. I have hosted events in Chicago every three to six months since 1994. As the Internet became available, I moved much of my library of information on line, and began to spider out into other groups to share information

Paul, when I read this "Why can’t we combine the two for an even greater impact? For example whenever I go to a conference I think “wow, look at all of these interesting people that I would like to meet and connect with”. " I jumped in my seat.
