I love the concept. Most of us won’t go to a new restaurant and spend $25 on a decent meal without checking out reviews first. Why isn’t there a site — laser focused on online community — for organizations to give and read reviews on community software, which is such a huge investment? Well, now there is!
Maggie McGary, a social media manager at the American Psychological Association, is a brilliant community manager and the Founder of ReviewMyCommunity.net. In full disclosure, Online Community Results is a Founding Sponsor, and I’ve partnered with Maggie to bring the site to fruition.
Here’s the high-level overview:
- As of today, you can write a review on the online community software that you’re using, and in return, receive a lifetime subscription to the site, which will allow you to read reviews about other community software products.
- You can also purchase a lifetime subscription if you don’t have community software to review. During the pre-launch phase, a lifetime subscription is half-off.
- The website goes live in early 2017, and a critical mass of 100 reviews needs to be built up before launch.
As someone who helps organizations select an online community platform for their needs, I’m excited about the potential to see what actual users think about their software.
But the website is only as good as the reviews, so I’m encouraging my clients and readers to give a review. Will you take 10 minutes to help out present and future community managers make an informed online community buying decision? Leave a review at ReviewMyCommunity.net.
Hope to read your review soon!
