19/02/08 It’s About Communities, Not Community…

SINGAPORE - The power of networks is definitely in the ability to form communities.

But it’s not about “the community”, it’s about “the communities”.

Users need to form small tight niche groups with their close contacts. Through these communities of interest they build-out content, collect new contacts and communicate.

Without an infinite number of small communities within the larger ‘community’ it is impossible to build a feeling of ownership for users. An infinite number of communities should have the ability to be formed and be able to share, track and collaborate together.
