[via Rodney's tip off about Compete.com]
A comment on Rodney’s blog – from Michael – made me think:
“those of us interested in growing on-line communities the message seems to be that setting up special interest groups is going to be less effective than developing a useful application”
If there are 3 types of communities – one of them the type that grows from shared activities, one from shared space and one from shared interest – then maybe Facebook is doing 1 and 2 and blogs are doing 3? Oversimple probably.
