I've moved our Open Source Community to a Google+ Community, I've personally found it's the best way to communicate and share content, news and announcements which ended up being much more engaging, interactive, visible and functional than everything else I've tried.
It encourages a better community feeling than the 140 chars allows for on Twitter, the content posted ends up being a lot more interesting, richer and more positive than the constant dump o' hate I see in my Tweet stream. Personally I'd prefer more ex-bloggers start posting on G+ than micro blogging their opinions on Twitter
- frewsxcv 13y agoDid you consider switching to a subreddit?
- mythz 13y agoNope, I prefer G+'s insistence on dealing with real people rather than anonymous aliases - IMO it's part of the reason I see a lot less hate on G+. It's also nice to have the option to privately msg and hangout whenever we need to.
- rhizome 13y agoTwitter is your counterpoint? What else did you consider?
- mythz 13y agoWe've moved from a mailing list which was a black-hole for Content with very poor discoverability, and despite having many members was mostly read-only/ignored with just the same small group responding. We're now directing future support questions to StackOverflow. Many people were using GitHub issues to communicate, but this was primarily only seen by the Core team and effectively invisible to the wider community. We see much more engaging and visible feedback on G+, people frequently comment on posts, +1 and re-share.
