How To Create a Successful Web Community: The Video

Here's an interesting video involving some of the most successful web communities.

 

At the CommunityNext conference I moderated this panel with the founders of six very successful web properties:

1. Akash Garg of hi5

2. Sean Suhl of Suicide Girls

3. Max Levchin of Slide

4. James Hong of HotorNot

5. Markus Frind of PlentyofFish

6. Drew Curtis of Fark

For this you can thank Guy Kawaski's excellent blog, How To Change The World.  Here's a guy that I've been reading for EVER, for God's sake, but only in the last couple of weeks did I realize that he had a blog.  Lucky me.  Thank you, Guy.

 

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.  It's also an excellent way to learn.  The above mentioned entrepreneurs represent some of the best.
