Dear Mustang lovers,
This entry is not for you actually. It’s for my Community building module teacher (hi there). I have followed this module for two months and the first task was to set up the blog and join the community you have never been before. So that’s what I did. Here you are reading Iwantmustang blog and I have an account in Allthefordmustangs.com community.
More about Allfordmustangs community. It was really easy to register there and I did it really fast. I had possibility to read forums, look though the pictures and comment on everything. I was also able to start my own discussion or even write letters to the other members.
It was difficult to be a real part of that community because only the owners of Ford Mustangs are attending it. And I only want a Mustang. Sometimes it’s not enough, it’s very important to show how are you going to achieve it. Well, I have my further plans but I want to continue this project in the future till I get my dream car in original way and don’t want to show my best cards at the first moment. This blog is only a beginning and Community building module is a great start and priceless knowledge about internet possibilities.
So the reason why I took part in this community was the size of it. Silly me, it’s much easier to benefit in a small community I guess. Also the website is well built although the design is not the best of the best. So you get the newest articles, the greatest pictures and cetera in one place and the information is very systemized what makes the journey though the site much easier.
I usually go back to that site to see what’s new – what Mustang 2012 will show us today, how will they surprise the fans, what new features will they serve? What are also very interesting are the pictures of Mustangs of the other people. What cars do they have, how do they take care of them, what changes did they made to them or how did they conserved the very old vehicle which they got from their grandfathers and so on.
As a participant I was more a lurker. As I have mentioned above I don’t have my own Mustang yet. If I would do, the others would respect me immediately. Well of course, I could take a picture with a Mustang near my Student-house and say that it’s mine, but I don’t cheat. I want to make it real.
The community was organized quite well. And the members were very active. For example after I signed in I wrote a greeting message on a public board and I got nice welcomes from the others immediately. There are also rules in the community. You cannot use slangs and short names, if you want to be a member of this community you have to be polite to others.
Commercial module behind the community? If I get the question right it’s the advertisement. You can see banners of the companies that are fixing cars, selling parts everywhere. Although it’s not that annoying, it’s just on the middle. There is no participation fee in the community, but hey organizes events for Mustang owners and then you have to pay a little fee. But it’s in a physical life already.
So thanks for reading this and a good mark that I will get for my Blog 
Stay with my viral I made this summer to sell my scooter faster (on “Lithuanian YouTube” called Videogaga I got almost 10000 views within few days and I sold it quit fast. It includes Mustang.
