I just finished a webinar by Chris Brogan on building communities. These are a few suggestion from Chris:

1. Listen (really listen) to your customers and find them where they hang out online.
2. Find out/ask them what they want or need
3. Join their community? Make a new community? Both?
4. Introduce yourself, invite them
5. Ask them for their goals and hopes
6. Share your goals and hopes
7. Just do it (again and again!)

After you do a Google search, look in the upper left for “show options”. You can sort your results by blog, images, post date etc. Pretty darn cool!
