BNET Business Dictionary
Business Definition for: Online Community
- a means of allowing Web users to engage with one another and with an organization through use of interactive tools such as e-mail, discussion boards, and chat systems.
They are a means by which a Web site owner can take the pulse of consumers to find out what they are thinking, and to generate unique content. As stand-alone businesses, online communities have been found to be weak; they work best when they are supporting the need for an organization to collect ongoing feedback.
