| community building Everything being built on the web these days is all about the community. Where do the loners fit in with all these cliques? When I started on the web, it was all about personal websites. YOU had a site where you put all your stuff. Hell, even when blogging took off, it was about personalized blogs on YOUR site. I think that was the main reason I stayed away from Livejournal, even though i had an account when they started. But now everything is community driven this and community building that. Everybody is Facebooking and MySpacing and TubingYou. They are counting beans ("friends") and using templated personal sites. I am about to re-design some of my own personal brands on the web and I realize that I am back to being a lone voice in a 40 visitors a day world, a highschool loner, in a 500+ friends world. How about all us loners make a community? September 19 07 |
