Introducing Activity Feed Improvements, Including Member Status Updates

Today we're pleased to release a set of improvements to the Activity Feed feature on Ning 3.0 networks.

How To Help Members Overcome Their Fear of Participation

Posted by Crystal on April 30, 2014 at 10:54am in Engaging Your Community
Members need both the motivation to initiate and to overcome their fear of starting a discussion. Their motivation to initiate will be to either learn something (e.g. "Does anyone know how to....?"), to impress others (e.g. "does anyone else think business class travel isn't as great as it used to be?" or to bond with others (e.g. "I'm upset Kelly got fired from the Apprentice").

"Star rating is real nice.
Am open to suggestion where to place it, but my concept is to train folks now coming on...to use it to search all our sites, rather than just browsing. Towards top of site would be best??"
