Abstract: A method and system for content distribution and placement through external social communities is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes building a work of authorship through a collective coordination of authors of the work of authorship in a community environment, providing a portion of content of the work of authorship on an external social community through a feed from the community environment to the external social community, processing a response of a user of the external social community in contributing to the work of authorship, and integrating the response of the user of the external social community in the work of authorship. The method may include providing the feed as of a Real Simple Syndication feed, as an embeddable widget, and/or an activity announcement based on an update of the work of authorship in the community environment.
