Online communities have come a long way. When I started working on them around 1999-2000, commmunity was still communitiy, but the software was limited and the rules were different. These days new technologies, ideas and websites have pushed the community envelope in new directions. The old rules don't always apply and I'm interested in talking about the new rules for the new communities.

(more coming soon)
