Hello and welcome to another week in Rosieland.
I'm trying hard to get back into the flow of things. And blimey. Why did I sign up to to do 100 Days of Twitter Spaces?
Here are a few recent community related ones, you should be able to listen back for the next 2-3 weeks, I think.
- Minimum Viable Communities
- Micro-communities
- Building in Public with Arvid Kahl — Part 1 / Part 2
- How do you transition an audience into a community?
Onwards....
