Passion, Influence, Relevance and Bubbles
December 21st, 2009 by Mandy Vavrinak
Someone who is passionate about an idea or product or brand keeps on learning, and loving, and sharing experiences and interactions born of the love affair. And those shared moments will typically only resonate with those who are interested in the same brand or idea. Maybe the audience isn’t in love yet… maybe just experimenting or looking for a first date. That’s where passionate people and influence intersect.

Truths About Building Community
October 20th, 2009 by Mandy Vavrinak
If the purpose is to create “a community of bicycle enthusiasts” you need to re-think.

Automating Politeness
October 3rd, 2009 by Mandy Vavrinak

September 7th, 2009 by Mandy Vavrinak
