What is the perfect community tool?


Recommended Posts

These days I believe that the perfect community tool is a website builder that has a few “community” features:

  • Small space to converse
  • List Events
  • Have a directory
  • Ability to curate and share inforamtion

This approach would help us to stop focusing too much on conversations.  

Most content creators and audience builders need a website builder like any other, with emphasis on good context, navigation, and UIX with some extra community features.  Maybe our community platforms are building for too much conversation, not enough for action or takeaways.

What do you think?

If I understand what you're saying with building too much for conversation, isn't that the point of a forum? A blog/website will always serve its purpose better for action or takeaways, but a forum is still in the end, a forum. A place to discuss and have conversations. Which is not possible on websites. They are just two different platforms and forums don't need to be converted to websites. They aren't build for that.

Build for all of it. Gallery, Downloads, Pages, Events. Your community can be both a social gathering and an information hub. This is why I like "community" software over just "forums"
