5 Online Community Poison Pills
by Nancy White, Full Circle Associates

Sometimes it is easier to think about what not to do, rather than what to do with online communities. Each community has a different purpose, target audience and style. There are many approaches you can take.

But there are a few key poison pills to avoid. Think about it. Do you want to go to the trouble of setting up a community only to doom it from the start? No?

1.) Build it and expect everyone to come
2.) Control it to death
3.) Forget it
4.) Make it too complicated
5.) Take it too personally


DigiChat, already the clear marketshare leader in Java chat software solutions, has recently seen significant enhancements from previous versions, most notably the addition of voice and video chat.


The addition of voice and video capabilities dramatically enhances the online experience. It has also proven to increase site stickiness, repeat traffic and bottom-line revenue by addressing needs such as community building, webcasts, online meetings, video conferencing, live support forums and distance learning.

Voice Chat
DigiChat users can communicate with each other seamlessly and easily using our peer-to-peer voice module. Our simple-to-use controls allow you to initiate a voice chat from the standard DigiChat user list or during a private text conversation. Continue to text chat in public rooms or multiple private messages, while you talk.
Video Chat
With DigiChat's integration of full-motion, peer-to-peer video chat, online meetings can take that next step. Video takes interaction to the most personal level by capturing tone, inflection and expression. DigiChat has built-in support for most types of Web-cams and a variety of useful tools such as freeze frame, private messaging and file transfer.

The best way for someone to appreciate the power of DigiChat AV Enterprise is to experience it first-hand,” said Norman Taylor, Digi-Net Sales Manager. “We now have a Live Demo available to provide our customers and prospects with the ability to test drive these capabilities.”
