Good point about having a core group of people to get it started. Also I agree that there needs to be some darn good content. I think what motivated most of us to join was Richard's site, Fever Bee. He has provided tons of great content and is very…
One of the problems is that a lot of successful blogs and online communities DID grow their audiences on an "if you build it, they will come" principle. Jason Kottke, for instance, has never as far as I know promoted his blog much, but his readershi…
A moderator must feel that he/she walks a tight rope. One wants to let the community run with their interests but I agree that there needs to be an online decorum or guidelines that are followed.
The 1989 film Field of Dreams is about a farmer in love with baseball, particularly glorious past teams such as The Chicago White Sox. Shoeless Joe Jackson was banned for throwing the 1919 World Series. One day the farmer (Kevin Costner) hears a voi…
I joined this group because I think I will learn a lot. Why did you choose the name ALT-MBA? It's not exactly memorable but rather generic.
A home away from home for Alt-MBA members. If you're not a member, come on in, we won't bite.

Build It and They Will Come?
The 1989 film Field of Dreams is about a farmer in love with baseball, particularly glorious past teams such as The Chicago White Sox. Shoeless Joe Jackson was banned for throwing the 1919 World Series. One day the farmer (Kevin Costner) hears a voice, "If you build it, he will come." The allure of the movie is the climactic fantasy near the end when Costner builds a ball diamond in his corn field.
