[I posted this article on my blog yesterday, but thought it might help a few SMC members if it were reposted.]

Last week, I strategized and launched a pretty large social network in four days, with the help of a really amazing team. In some days, I have done jobs like this before, in that I’ve launched a hyper-local social network last year in a couple of hours, but in many ways, I entered uncharted waters this week with this particular implementation.

To learn 13 of the things that you’ll need to do as a social web strategist, in order to get a huge, robust social network up in a ridiculously short time period, just follow this link. Damn the torpedoes!

    Yes, I’ve done Social Netowrk launches now for a while, and this was a great “survival guide” the only thing I would add to the list would be a fridge full of Red Bulls! Thanks for sharing this post.

    Where can we find the social network online? I’d love to take a look!

    I would also add to the list… It helps if the Launch date is the night before your wedding…

    It was a great project to work on and a fun site to design and build. I would normally like more time to fully develop, but it was fun to be under the gun!
