I agree with you - too many people place too much emphasis on technology. Especially when it comes to online communities.<BR/><BR/>What brings people together? What creates 'community'? People do, not technology.<BR/><BR/>Technology is important - it should make creating a community easier, but it is certainly not the most important aspect. When it comes to community building, it's way down the list.<BR/><BR/>- MartinMartin Reedhttp://www.communityspark.com/noreply@blogger.com
