This talk discusses how to create a fan community. It notes that a community is not about the product itself but using the product as a conduit to bring people together. It recommends creating influence rather than seeking it out and finding a rallying cry that everyone can unite behind. The talk suggests communities should not try to appeal to everyone and to think of content and distribution differently by focusing on depth over disposability and curation over self-promotion. It cites Dunbar's number that people can only maintain stable social relationships with approximately 150 people.
