What is a community?
Communities, by their definition, are congregations of individuals with common interests brought together by a focal entity yet scattered by a larger world. Until recently, common perception identified building a community as just a matter of setting up a forum or a chat room, capping it with an evangelist and then anxiously waiting for followers to come in and make magic. Yet there is a lot more to communities than a few pieces of software and partial persuasion, strung together by a need. The edge that is required in online communities, that of freshness and user friendliness teamed with offline nurturing and information from the community drivers, is unachievable without great effort.
