Last week, I had a fun time moderating the June #4Change Twitter Chat on Online Community Building. Thanks to all those who participated or followed along, and to those who will join the conversation now! This wrap up will highlight some of the insights and resources shared during the chat, but, if you’d rather, you can review the full transcript.

I found Britt's interview with Rosalyn Lemieux to be truly informative, and so submitted it to NewsTrust. If y’all could go over there and rate the story, I think it will be good for Britt & Netsquared.

Never heard of NewsTrust? I posted about it here.
