Carpe Futurum: Building Communities Without the Blueprints
Online communities have been shifting and evolving since the dial tone squeal of the first modems. As we’ve seen before, it’s impossible to predict when and where the next shift(s) will happen. Therefore, what will the future of social bring? Will we see one monolithic community rise, then fall, when another takes it place? Will people flock to smaller, niche sites that better fit their personalities? When there is no blueprint, where do you begin?
In “Carpe Futurum,” Virb.com President Brad Smith and Lead Designer Ryan Sims will guide you through the pitfalls and possibilities of building successful communities and sustaining existing ones. Taken from their experiences while growing Virb, you’ll get an honest, first-hand look at the realities of maturing a community; what works, what will have you hiding under your seat, and where they see it all going.
