A mosaic of social-networking services
Scott makes a good point about social networking as a mosaic of connectedness:
someone needs to spell out the various emerging definitions of community, eg:
- your geo-dispersed acquaintances from across your lifespan (facebook, twitter)
- a geo-dispersed network around a topic (ning)
- your local network/organization around a topic (meetup group)
- your neighborhood
Yes, he's the founder of Meetup, but the service is so good (I'm a registered user myself) that it does belong here. (He's also speaking at Gel'09 in a few weeks.)
