For companies that are building online startup communities (ahem...) how does your advice differ from building off-line, in-person communities? What are the differences and overlaps?

@eriktorenberg I think the principles are the same. The tactics are different since it's hard to smell and touch people online, so you have to get the nuance of personality a different way. But having synchronous activities (AMAs, Group Hangouts) in addition to the asynchronous activity that pervades online communities is key.
