Tips
When you start a community, make it clear what kind of a group you are forming by giving the community a meaningful name and description.
You can also tag your community so that people can see what the community is about.
Go to the My Organization Communities page to see a filtered list of the existing tags.
Choose any tags that might apply to your community, if you do not see any relevant tags create your own.
Communities
Provide a meeting of the minds
Communities are groups of people with a common interest. A public community is available for all to join, while a restricted community is restricted to a particular group. A community provides a central spot for users to stay in touch, share information, and exchange ideas.
Find a community that works for you
Browse or search for communities of interest to you. Click a tag in the tag cloud to find communities tagged with a specific keyword. You can also browse by categories such as Recent (recently updated), Popular, and Alphabetical. When you join a community, you can view bookmarked information, connect with other members, and subscribe to feeds to keep informed.
