So you’ve got the basics set, having a general plan ready to go (you did read the first article in this series, right?). Now it’s time to nail down another important aspect of your little project: the community team. Again, we’re going to have some choices to make, and each one comes with it’s own set of baggage.

Om Malik reports this morning that Skype is now the largest long distance phone company. That’s a huge stat when you consider that Skype wasn’t even a blip on the radar a few years ago, and flat out didn’t exist a decade ago. We’ve come a long way. Remember when you got calls from MCI, Sprint and the rest almost every day? Remember the incredible bills when your kid called American Samoa or Rangoon? Telecom was one of those…

Yesterday we updated the Splitcoaststampers.com site, the absolute best site on the net for Rubber Stamping and Card Making, with to the latest version of vBulletin, added a left column and did a whole bunch of system integration throughout the site. The project took approximately 4 months to complete, with tremendous work by Scott Bigelow, a great backend engineer and hardware guy, and Daven Nolta, the site manager, who kept us on track and on target for the community needs….
