Facebook. Which by the way was recently valued at $15 Billion. Are social networking sites valuable? Why? How?
What makes an online community anyways?? What makes a real community? Dictionary.com lists a community as thus:
a social group of any size whose members reside in a specific locality, share government, and often have a common cultural and historical heritage.
By this definition, an online community can be easily achieved. We all share a specific locality we call the world wide web. The only difficult part is the common government. The community of Triggerstreet has something called a "Hall of Justice," in which people can be reffered for inappropriate content or actions. Facebook even has a "report for abuse" button.
These communities are actually valuable. Pushy sales salespeople turn into pure referrals and actions on the whole part and willingness of the consumer. Now that is the best reason for communities. That is why they are invaluable. Social sales, social news, social world. These networking sites are the way of the future.
