People refer to your "Facebook fans" or "Twitter followers" and these groups are construed as the only ones you have and the only way to interact with them. But your communities do not have to be resigned to these forms alone. Long before social media was the force it is today, there existed online forums and email groups in which people interacted without the aid of friend newsfeeds and hashtags. Even today, these traditional sort of online groups still exist and thrive. Many in the information technology (IT) community prefer the use of online forums to discuss issues they are having. Even those outside of IT who are willing to troubleshoot computer issues (yours truly) know the benefits that come with finding a thread where people are discussing the same problem you are experiencing.
