We’ve got some more exciting news as the Radian6 community team continues to grow. This time, we’re more than delighted to welcome Katie Morse as Radian6′s newest community manager.
If you’ve interacted with Katie at all – you can find her on Twitter at @misskatiemo – you know she’s nothing short of fiercely energetic and smart. She’s spent the last several years in communications and marketing roles in the telco industry and most recently with Ripple6, so she’s well versed in the world of online communications. She’s also an avid music lover and has long participated in music communities across the web, and her blog offers up some great discussion on the impact that the internet and social web have had on the music industry.
Katie is another example of successful connections through social media; I’m pretty sure she and I met first on Twitter, and over the last couple of years we’ve connected at offline events – from tweetups to conferences – and through other online channels. She’s got some great perspectives about how social media is changing business and communication as we know it.
At Radian6, Katie will be helping us continue to build and serve our online community, with a specific focus on our corporate customers and their needs. She’ll be teaming up with me, Lauren Vargas, and Ali Lee to not only communicate with all of you and help create helpful content, but our entire team will be working together this year to build out a dedicated Radian6 community for our users, and the social media community at large (more news on that in future months).
Katie shared some of her thoughts about joining Radian6 over here, so please drop by and leave her a note of support. And please join me in welcoming Katie to the Radian6 team. We’re delighted to have her aboard. Exciting times ahead!

If being a co-worker of Amber's is anything like being a colleague, well … you know what I mean. Very thrilled for Katie, Amber, David, Lauren, Teresa and the entire R6 team. As some of you know, Katie interned at Bronto (my previous employer) back in the day. So I guess that means I've known Katie for 4 years or so. She's been on my "watch list" ever since. Hey Katie, if things don't work out at Radian 6 (ha ha – yeah right!), let's talk.
You rock.

Congrats, Katie! I did a "whoa!!!" when I saw Teresa had joined (today – I was under a rock, ok?) and then a "WHOA" when I saw you had joined as well!
Some super talented people at Radian6

Wow – thank you all for the kind words! As tempting as it is to respond to each one individually, I know how annoying a flood of comments via email could be… so I'm resisting (this time).
I know without a doubt that I'm the lucky one here. The team at Radian6 is pretty darn amazing (as you all know) and I'm excited to dive right in and see what we can accomplish together this year.
