In my opinion there will be a big problem in the next few years with organizations not being able to deal with the various tools, not understanding which ones are strong and which ones are weak.

What Nori doesn't mention is that some communities fail to self-organize. There are usually people that work for the organization that must join the community and participate as a member of that community.

Well, this is my opinion. I believe that Nori took a slightly different path with Cyber Technologies International. My suggestion to organizations looking to build a community is to prepare to be a part of that community. Be active.

"I think we're seeing that the best way to organize an online community is not to. Let the people in the community self organize and give them the tools to shape it in the ways that they find fits their needs."

I wonder if organizations looking to create communities need to understand the various tools and what their strengths/weaknesses are?
