Guy Kawasaki from "Let the good times roll", by provides us with some valuable advice about the art of creating a community. Having been involved in quite a few "community building companies", I think that Maxthon by far exceeds them all. The thriving, ever growing and passionate Maxthon community is build by users and with users around one common interest, namely creating the best possible browsing experience out there. Just to get a feel of the Maxthon community read Ron White's article in Network Computing to get a feel..
Maxthon has several sites initiated and build by community members themselves from plug-in-sites, skins-sites, help-sites, to blogs sites and Wikis' and much more. The art of creating a community is, to constantly nurture it, let is develop by itself as an ever changing organic being. However, just as every beautiful garden needs the caring touch of a gardener - so a community needs the caring hand of its community builder.
Like Guy rightfully points out - it is very important to stimulate the discourse and not try to play down critical voices from within the community on stuff you're doing. There will always be people who don't approve of what your are doing etc, but ignoring critical voices from you community, is like not listening to one of your family members. Hey, they are part of the family, and many times the reason for why your company reached where it reached - you listen to your family don't you?
