Nick - sadly spammers are still trying to get through, but the more we stop them the less traction they'll have.
bang on though - you don't own community which is what Murdoch was trying to do.
Also note: By this afternoon I'll have disqus running on the blog so you'll be able to edit - I think? I'll have to check.

Who owns Community?
This blog, about building community, has been inspired by two scenarios: Today I received an email inviting me to an event where I would learn how to earn £millions by creating great marketing copy to get people to “subscribe” to things. A case study used was a new property forum, where peop...

I'm going to have a look at meetup.com
Thanks for the tip.

I'll have a look tomorrow Ian.
I have to say the topic has been a popular one.

Why some social networks may fail.
Question: If you own a forum or a social networking site, is it prudent to give it a free rein, rather than trying to “run” it? I co-founded the Property Tribes forum in April 2009 and we have just celebrated out 1,000th member joining. It is an extremely active community, up-dating hourly. I...

Graham - agreed.
I think that is precisely what the quantcast data is revealing.
It's quite amazing that those that preach understanding don't seem to understand.

Sarah:
Too true - but then anyone with an agenda is always needing to control because of an already pre conceived notion.
Pubs are the best analogy to explain community, especially community on the web.
I think if an "owner" badly manages the community, the community will kick back. x

Ian:
The answer to your first question is "no comment"!!!!
LinkedIn, does not interfere and the community "seems" to shape it - but I agree they need to interject some "stuff" into it as it's way behind in application.

99% of your competitors are not aware this capability exists ... yet ... (@foursquare)
I have a confession to make. I've become rather addicted to FourSquare lately. FourSquare is a recent addition to a number of social sites that facilitate "life streaming", or, as I like to call it, "lifestyle web impressions". Wiki describes it as thus: "Foursquare is a location-based ...

The reason why I am leaving Twitter ....
I just deleted my Twitter account. It had over 25,000 followers. Here's why... About a year ago, I really loved Twitter. It was a lot of fun and it was great for communicating with people and for getting into all sorts of discussions. But as Twitter has grown, it's become full of NOISE. Eve...
