Professional Roles
In the fall of 2007, Jeremiah Owyang (was Sr Analyst at Forrester Research: Social Computing) independently gathered job descriptions. His research resulted in his publishing The Four Tenets of the Community Manager.
This is an emerging and fast growing profession, especially given the growth of branded online communities, online research communities, corporate blogs and other social media marketing and research activities.
In 2008, Jeremiah Owyang began maintaining a list of online community managers employed by large corporations (a Fortune 5000 company or over 1,000 employees). This list is certainly not exhaustive and does not include the many community managers at smaller organizations, but it does indicate the prevalence of the position in mid 2008.

“It was always the work that was the gyroscope in my life. I don’t know who could have lived with me. As an architect you’re absolutely devoured. A woman’s cast in a lot of roles and a man isn’t. I couldn’t be an architect and be a wife and mother.”
