Episode 2: Reputation Systems in Online Communities

This episode contains the second of four recordings made during a recent discussion I led at the December Portland Web Innovators meeting. In this edition, I lead a discussion about best practices and ideas for using reputation within online communities. We talk about different types of reputation systems and using community reputation for rewards and hiring from within the community.

The next edition in this series of four podcasts from the Portland Web Innovators meeting talks about ideas for structuring new online communities. After these initial four podcasts, I am planning to switch to an interview format (via skype most likely), so if you are doing something really cool with your online community, please let me know! I am open to suggestions for potential interviews.

You may have also noticed the link to iTunes in the sidebar. iTunes is my preferred way to get podcasts, so I thought that I would include the link for any others who want to subscribe.
