It is good to see Tangler growing stronger/faster/bigger - you're doing a great job :) Personally, as much as I'd like to be a professional community manager I've priced myself out of the "part time job suitable for college student" market - I wonder if community manager will become a full-on profession with qualifications and professional associations and all that structured stuff? I am pretty sure it will happen - maybe I should start the "community manager's association" now to cash in early :) Cheers, Andrew Hi Mick,

Seth and Tangler are like (insert two fingers held closely together) that. We took the lesson from Flickr about holding the hand of new users to begin with until the community looks after itself. We also learn a lot more about what the priority features should be because we have people with a close relationship with users who didn't really like us and users who love us. I have to say that for a college student it's a pretty fun job to have. Cheers, Mick Hey, yep, community developers are where it’s at.
