Growing Community On and Offline

23 mins ago by Stephanie Smith
He’s an acclaimed record producer, songwriter, Grammy award winner, the CEO of
So So Def Recordings and CEO of Global 14. Entrepreneur Jermaine Dupri is a man
with many talents. We’re thrilled to have Jermaine join us at Startup Grind 2013
when he shares the secrets to successfully building community.
Global 14 is the “coolest, hippest city on the Internet”.       A social community that Jermaine Dupri founded in 2011, the focus at Global 14 is
real engagement and relationship building rather than simply broadcasting the
latest news. With discussion groups featuring topics ranging from relationships,
cooking, education and music, to dating and sex, Dupri encourages making friends,
not gathering followers.
“Global 14 was created because of the increasing trend of ‘social notifying’
versus ‘social networking’. Social notifying is when people share information, such as
in ‘Hey, check out this website.’ There’s no conversation or expectation of a response.”
Join us at Startup Grind 2013, February 4th-6th and catch Jermaine’s insights into
growing Community. Follow Jermaine on Twitter
at @Mr_Dupri.
