More here: <a href="http://www.edmitchell.co.uk/blog/2007/11/16/three-types-of-community/" rel="nofollow">http://www.edmitchell.co.uk/blog/2007/11/16/three-types-of-community/</a> We worked on this model with Amnesty in June 2007 and have seen it gaining traction since. 2. The key has to be the ongoing aggregation of our distributed thoughts on our blogs by interest/practice focused hubs which gather our thoughts and then, when neccesary, we can come to the communal knowledge watering hole and kick off in small focused bursts around specific issues... This gives us the independence we want when we want it and the communal many brains focus when we need it... We must start using effective keywords and experimenting properly between ourselves!
