Over at JobStreet, Yahoo posted a Job Opening for a Community Manager. Check out some of the responsibilities:
Online Community Management
You will lead the on-going management of our online communities. You will drive the engagement and growth of community-based services like Yahoo! Answers, Flickr and Yahoo! Groups. You will encourage our users to build relationships with each other and to share their knowledge, photos, videos and passions in a meaningful and responsible way. You will do this by communicating with the community through product blogs, message boards, emails and instant messaging.
Offline Community Management
You will engage our community face-to-face via meet-ups, road shows, workshops, seminars and other public events. You will be the face of Yahoo! and an evangelist of our products, teaching users how to maximize their online experience with our products.
If I read this right, an extreme extrovert would fit right in. In my mind, this will be very much Aileen’s counterpart. If this will be establishing online communities, I think she/he should definitely be a blogger.

Actually, in my personal opinion and experience as a Community Manager myself, a good “swaying-balance” between introvert and extrovert is the best choice.
For one to be a good CM, one have to be an introvert. To express that, one have to be an extrovert. – JC Cuneta.

Airborne Access Logins Lead to Yahoo Home Page 9:31 pm on December 26, 2007 Permalink
[...] Ostensibly as part of a partnership with Yahoo, users of Airborne Access hotspots are directed to the Yahoo home page once they successfully log on to the broadband service. Previously, logging in would lead to Airborne Access’ own home page. Perhaps this development has something to do with Yahoo’s recent search for an Online Community Manager for the Philippines? [...]
