A Better Online Community Through Membership

A List Apart recently published this intersting article, Anonymity and Online Community: Identity Matters, on the importance of user identity in an online community. The article surveys various methodologies from total anonymity to robust mebership systems. John M. Grohol, the author, ends the discussion with six recommendations on how to create a better community through memership. This was a very timely read for me, because we are in the beginning stages of designing an online community for a project we’re working on.
