Online Communities

Random Acts Of Reality :: TTIM#2

This is an interesting little piece. It is from a blog that I have been reading for a little while since it caught the public eye.

The author, Tom Reynolds, works for an Ambulance Service in London and he recounts his tales of saving lives in his big white taxi. He has turned his blog into a successful book.

In this particular article he talks about another blog that he visits regularly, that of Neil Gaiman and how he lets that personality shine though his blog. Tom himself is also puts himself into his online work. I have sent him an email and was very happy to receive a reply within 48 hours answering my questions.

In this article he discusses the concept of online communities and how they are developed within the web. My witter for this is that communities build themselves by links to other like-minded sites and people move around the web from site to site reading understanding and contributing to the community.

The introduction of RSS readers allow us viewers the opportunity to gather this information quickly in a readable format and then investigate it further if necessary.

The online community is very much alive!

Till next time

Vis.
