Cambrian House began as a crowdsourcing community using a wisdom of crowds based approach to discover new business and technology ideas. These pages are being kept online as a technology demo to showcase Chaordix™.

community greeters
created on May 17, 07 by Christine
building a community is similar to hosting a party - and we need more party hosts! What does this mean?
1. Make new members feel special. "Once they set foot in our community, they are kings and queens."
Know their music likes. Know that they drink Tanqueray gin. Surround them with their favorite things to put them immediately at ease." Since most members will be strangers to you, get to know them. The extra effort will put our community into another class entirely.
2. Never leave a new member alone. Entrust them to another member with similar interests and/or get them working on a project.
3. The more people interact, the more they will enjoy our community. Encourge members to interact with others by commenting on ideas or forums - invite them into the chat room (and chat with them ;).
4. Make sure they have something to do. Why are they in the community - to contribute? to hang out? Figure out what they want out of the community and help them get started.
