I am creating my own online social network: Team TriOdy and Social Science Research in Practice
Yesterday, I made use of the ning.com social networking platform and created my first online social network: Team TriOdy (link:http://triody.ning.com). I am part of a group of active endurance sports enthusiasts that is regularly sharing information about races, trainings, and other related tips&tricks. I therefore thought it might be cool to turn this offline community into an online one. According to my own research results regarding information sharing in online communities, I follow two main strategies:
1. Get a critical mass of people involved in this project that are not necessarily "sitting in the same office or area" (so that there is a reason for them to visit the site). I plan to invite all my sports friends as well as the friends of these friends.
2. Also, I want to be as dedicated as possible and create as much interesting content as possible (in so doing I hope to make sure that people come and visit my site). From my latest research I know that community members with high "emotional commitment" and "high participation in information" exchange are most crucial to the success/sustainability of a user community.
I'll keep you updated on my progress!

Is this project still on?

Kendall, yes, the project is still on. You can find it under http://triody.ning.com. We haven't got a huge member-base yet but it is slowly building up!
Best,
Thomas

Looks nice. You already have people on your site (in 3 weeks). This project has a good future I think.

Yes, we already have 30 people on the site generating quite some interesting content. It still need to drive the interaction in the community but we are getting there. I found that a mix of online and offline activities among members really fosters the communtity creation process!

Very nice project. In my opionion it will be a great project in future... - Work on it, so it could grow in the next month!

We are constantly growing, slow but steady! We have found a nice way of mixing online activities with offline interaction.
Since we are a sports community, we meet regularly for training and racing. We then discuss our results on the web.
Our next steps are expanding our member base with non-local friends. Also, we are working on the features of our community!
