Have you ever ever wondered what a community manager does? I have spent many years staying awake at night asking myself this very question. Then I watched the video below, and now, I can finally sleep.  

Seriously, though, if you've ever asked yourself, "How can I get a job as a community manager?" the video below is for you. Click it and join the CMs of Insomniac, Naughty Dog, Capcom, and ArenaNet to learn all about the mysterious world of community management, a viable career in the gaming industry.

(As a bit of a community manager here at G4, I'd like to apologize to you, the community, for the bad audio on this video. Something, in the field, things happen.)

    Bashiok is the best community manager if for no other reason than he makes no sense.

    This video was eye-opening. I am going to college to major in Public Relations at LSU, and now I want to be a CM because it sounds more fitting for my love for video games.

    P.S. I just did a research paper on the importance of Social Media on marketing, and how it filters through what the people actually pay attention to, and I respect that Twitter/Facebook bar at the bottom of the page.

    I think this is G4's response to Abbie leaving.

    So in other words game companies are implementing Total quality management?

    "The history of quality management, from mere 'inspection' to Total Quality Management, and its modern 'branded interpretations such as 'Six Sigma', has led to the development of essential processes, ideas, theories and tools that are central to organizational development, change management, and the performance improvements that are generally desired for individuals, teams and organizations."

    Off Topic. HEY G4!!!! :D
    Can we get an option to turn off that twitter bar. Not all of us care for every last single fad social networking sites.

    Isn't that what Abbie Heppe does for Respawn now? I've wondered the same thing.

    Also: HEY G4! WHERE IS YOUR REDCROSS RELIEF BANNER FOR JAPAN ON YOUR FRONT PAGE? Get on it.
