Thank You, Community Managers!

Dear Community Managers,

A few short years ago, the term ‘community manager’ snuck into business world. Companies were rushing to find themselves one, even though they might not have even been sure what exactly he or she would do once she came along. Some of us have been doing it forever (since before the title was even created!), and some of us have just begun. Regardless of which of these categories you fall into, we at Scoop.it have one thing to say: thank you!

Thank you, community managers, for…

• Bringing strangers together over shared interests
• Staying up all night just to make sure everyone is happy
• Being an advocate for community within your company
• Working on weekends, holidays, birthdays, and special occasions
• Always helping each other out
• Knowing the meaning, and importance, of Twitter friends
• Turning products into movements
• Your undying passion for connecting people
• Helping each other learn and improve
• Spending an entire day dedicated to you working harder than ever to share your knowledge
