e-mint used Yahoo Groups from 2000 til Yahoo shut down groups in 2020. We migrated to another old school tech – a discussion list!
To subscribe to the e-mail list, use this site.
The list is still active though fairly quiet. This website is more of an archive of earlier days of e-mint as we have not had an event in years.
We occasionally post to the @e_mint account on Twitter.
Later today, Thursday 20th, is Vircomm 2014.
If you have tickets, lucky you!! If not, make sure you follow along on Twitter. The conference starts at 9:30am in London. Check out the speaker list & agenda.
Planning has begun for the 2013 Vircomm Summit (see last year’s details).
Take their survey & vote for your favourite topics!
Does the e-mint site look a little different to you?
That’s because I realised over the wknd that spammers had been to visit & left a bit of a mess. Except for the design & a few images to be uploaded yet, all should be back to normal. Yell if you notice anything not right (via the comments on to our @e_mint twitter account)
Vircomm2012 took place this past Thursday, Feb 9th & on all accounts ROCKED!
If you weren’t fortunate to be at the conference f2f, the sessions were streamed. Watch the @vircomm12 twitter account for the announcement when the sessions are uploaded.
Towards the end of the day, Blaise Grimes-Viort posted our twitter stats. The hashtag #vircomm12 generated:
Ribs Susiaho has offered up the Vircomm2012 Awards. I have to agree on the quote of the day… I’m trying to remember to ‘smile from the wrists down’ every day (though those pesky fingertips sometimes have a mind of their own…)
I’ve said it several times but I think it needs said again – a big thank you to Rebecca Newton & Oxana Morozowska for pulling together the conference! A big thank you also to the speakers, session moderators, volunteers & sponsors (Tempero, Crisp Thinking, Dis.cuss.it, eModeration )
Do you have photos or have you also blogged about it? Tell us in the comments below.
See you at Vircomm13!
Time is running out to get your tickets to Vircomm 2012! If you can be in London on Feb 9th & have even the vaguest interest in online communities, you should be there!
Check out the Agenda – you don’t want to miss the session on best practices of online human behaviour, or the one on gaming communities, or maybe the metrics session is for you? There’s also a keynote from Joshua March from conversocial & speakers from Moshi Monsters, Huffington Post, Crisp Thinking, CEOP, emoderation, Tempero, iFroggy, Elzware, Patients Like Me & more.

the following chart from indeed.com shows there was an increase in community manager roles early in the year, then a bit of a nosedive but it’s started to recover. does this match what you’re seeing out there?
While indeed is the only site I know of with actual job posting trends, we can add ‘demand’ into the picture by looking at the google trends data for people searching ‘community manager jobs’.
