Online Communities

By: Tom Smith

December 1, 2005

the OTHER media have been involved with the creation and support of many online communities in many formats since before the world wide web.

For our clients we have created chat rooms, threaded forums, simple message boards, intranets and extranets.

We were responsible for the creation of Virgin Student, a huge community of tertiary students and run Delia Smith's forum on cooking. We often use a variety of tools to enable people to share and discuss ideas, sometimes integrating with existing systems or creating tailored environments for communication.
