Alibaba Cloud Community 2.0 Launch - One Community for All

Alibaba Cloud's newly launched Community Platform 2.0 allows for user generated content (UGC) and helps community authors to be better recognized for their contributions.

We are excited to announce that Alibaba Cloud Community 2.0 officially went live. This is a big step toward Alibaba Cloud Community's vision to support a UGC-oriented content model and process.

With this community platform upgrade, it allows for more scalability to increase community engagement and user interaction within the online community as well as onboard more external authors to our network. Our main approach to increase engagement is to incentivize community contributors with non-monetary rewards and rank authors based on contribution. We have also included feature updates based on the top user feedback and pain points. Read on to know more about the key enhancements.

Integrated Community Framework and Channels

With this platform upgrade, more community channels are on-boarded to the Community Platform to allow for user engagement and interactions. The Blog platform is now joined by the Events and Webinar channel, under a unified Community Framework. We hope to enhance the user experience as well as increase user engagement through this integration.

User Reputation Management System

The most significant change with this update is that the Alibaba Cloud Blog channel now supports user reputation and ranking. The user reputation management system has been put in place to rank each user's reputation according to his or her contribution. The more a user contributes, the higher the user's ranking is. The top bloggers will be promoted on Popular Bloggers for more visibility. Learn more about the Alibaba Cloud Community Reputation Scheme.
