Hey gang, might I ask what are you all are using for community message boards? Wiki? Google Apps? Third Party? Website Blog? What's been working the best for posting announcements to the community and the community posting their thoughts and events?
Unless email is integrated, people miss announcements. As much as people like to complain about email overload, it's 10000000x more effective than anything else.
If it's just one-way announcements, use an email marketing tool like Mailchimp or CampaignMonitor.
For discussion lists, a private google group is handy (and free!) EXCEPT that people can easily remove themselves and you won't know about it.
I've looked at just about every private email list tool out there and am pretty sure will be building our own this fall. If anyone is interested in contributing to building this tool (I've got a spec written already), drop me a line off-list.

I'm a big fan of encouraging bi-directional community messaging, something
like a Google group or Yammer. Our members have some important things to
say and ask and post and encourage and celebrate, so it's not just the
owners that post. We use Yammer, and it serves it's purpose well enough.
It's pretty much like facebook, so people can post events, messages, links,
photos, tag with topics, etc. Members can also choose if they want desktop
notifications, e-mails, text messages, etc for how to read posts and how to
use the service from their obile, via desktop app, web, etc and if they
want instant notification or a daily summary, etc. Some people don't care
to hear about the treat in the kitchen. Some people want to know about it
as soon as it happens. It's also a great way to inform those who aren't
here that day of what happened so that they still feel somewhat connected.
I have no affiliation with Yammer. I just think it works well for us.
And when something really important needs to be announced, no one complains
about a regular ol' e-mail that gets sent out (in addition to posting it on
Yammer) just to be sure that everyone can read the important stuff.

This conversation has me wondering-- what about on-site instant messaging to all
members in the facility? Has anyone had a need for it, and if so, did you
implement something?

In our coworking space in Paris (Mutinerie), we use Yammer and it works
pretty well. I think almost all coworkers use it to check announcements or
share other topics and events.

Wow, great stuff. Thanks gang, I got some great suggestions on and offline. Looks like we might hybrid email through Mail Chimp for outgoing messages and community breakthroughs and use Classic Basecamp for ongoing community leadership convos, to-do's, calls, etc. And it's all free which, we all know, is spectacular.

Their basic level package allows you to use the service as a private
network with everything I've listed before. What starts to cost
money<https://www.yammer.com/about/pricing/>is if you want custom
branding (beyond just naming your network), admin
control (to block or remove someone), custom usage policy, monitoring
keywords, etc.
We've been using it for almost 2yrs yet and have the contingency plan to
start paying for it when we need to have some admin control, but so far
we've been blessed with not needing it. We don't ask any of our former
members to leave the network since we usually love them and are sad to see
them leave the nest, but some leave the network on their own and delete
their own accounts. If ever there is someone causing trouble, we'll start
paying to get admin control and block/remove them. I'm not against paying
for the services we use, but their basic package has everything we need
right now.

Rachel, just curious about the "causing trouble" part-- you don't mean current
customers, right? Just those who leave and then maybe cause mischief with their
account afterward?

I meant current or former members who are abusive, unfair, intolerant,
spammy (after being asked not to be), or just generally being jerks.
Whether they are current members or former members, if they are causing
trouble and won't stop after being asked, then we'll have to remove them.
But thankfully we haven't had anyone causing any trouble in our network.

Ah, ok. I was thinking that if current members were abusive that THEY would be
removed. ;) But I can see where some might cause problems for others on the
network without possibly crossing the line to outright loss of all privileges.

Yes, if someone (current or former) is abusive, then their posting access
would be blocked or their account would be removed.
We encourage all sorts of discussions on our network, including questions,
fair arguments/debates, jokes, kudos, recommendations, success stories,
etc. One of our house rules is to not be a jerk and we're clear that it
applies to our yammer network as well.

Campaign Monitor for an internal (or anyone that signs up at our site) newsletter
Basecamp for internal administrivia. Things in there right now deal with our various projects like purchasing a projector screen, electrician communications, party plans, etc.
Campfire for internal communitcation with members. We also have our own Hubot (http://hubot.github.com/) that people love and we are expanding on it's features (such as tell members who is at Seed, open the doors, etc). Campfire is a big advantage to our members as they don't have to physically be at Seed to participate in the community on their "off days".
My partners and I as well as full time members also have a weekly in-person stand-up to discuss any open issues.

My name is Cristina, I work in Cobot, we have an application for coworking spaces and it has a message board for your coworkers. We wrote a post<http://goo.gl/w3IEV>about this in our last newsletter. It supports members profiles and message boards.
If you need instant messaging, Skype is broadly used and you can create a private group for your coworkers. We do this in our space co-up.<http://co-up.de>
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, have a nice day!
