Community Guy: Disposable Camera Model for Community Growth

  • Lee · 2 years ago
    Good stuff Jake. The first community I started was free - we used eGroups in 2000 (which soon became Yahoo Groups). This provided a great proof of concept - a way to test the waters with little financial risk. Once we got going we moved to a more brandable and sophisticated platform that still cost less than $10,000 a year.


    It's a little like the problem people have with venture funding these days. Money changes the game and there can be too much of it. Starting up a community project with too much money can lead to bloat and useless technology. Ideas trump technology and are mostly free.

    The first disposable camera was invented jointly during 1980s by Kodak and Fujifilm.
    I don't think that it was a cheap project :)
