Agree with Peter and Fernando

We assessed the following tools for a new community:

Ning (yes, it still exists!)

MightNetworks

Circle

LearningStone

HowSpace

Mobilize.io

Taking account of pricing and our other selection criteria, our shortlist was Ning and Circle. We asked a small group of community members to engage with both platforms in a test site, and then selected Circle.

It has a lot of features that make it easy to create and manage engagement. The posts can be fun and quirky (it's super easy to add images and gifs). Searching is simple. And there are some useful analytical capabilities.

+1 for circle. We’re just about to use it to stand up all our communities. No experience yet, but it won our “bake off” against the other tools!

Hi Lucas, one another awesome tool is??Created by people from Teachable.?

I am part of one community running in Circle, and it’s very effective.

I can mention Facebook Groups as well, the one we use for Virtual Facilitation so far.?

Cheers,

Thank you very much to everyone for sharing their?answers.? I shared this question on the NCDD discussion list and the Facilitators for Covid Response list.?

The only community tools that were recommended were the following:

• Mighty Networks
• Sutra
• Welo
  
• Discord
• Email + Zoom

These helpful lists of tools were shared by Tim Bonnemann:

It is surprising to me that with so many community tools out there, so few community tools were recommended.
