		<description><![CDATA[A lot of people would like to tie Social Media efforts to old school &#8220;Return on Investment&#8221;, considering profits in relation to capital invested. I would challenge that notion by offering another view. In psychology, &#8220;Reciprocity&#8221; is described as responding to a positive action with another positive action, rewarding kind actions. Think of it as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think it is safe to say that most Community Managers are familiar with the &#8220;Online Disinhibition Effect&#8220;, better known as &#8220;John Gabriel&#8217;s Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory &#8220;. For the most part Community Managers need to think about forums and comment sections as a holiday party with your friends. You invite them over to share [...]]]></description>

One of the best ways to get engagement out of your community is to offer up some form of a contest.&#160; There are hundreds of different ways to do this, and there are obviously best practices at work by some of the best.&#160;&#160; [...]]]></description>
