I would argue that most communities are self-selected, virtual or not. >The difference between the physical and virtual is that physical ones must necessarily be inclusive, virtual ones are encouraged to be exclusive. It depends on the

For me, a physical presence isn't a requirement in order to have a strong relationship with someone. So in my case, it could very well work as a replacement.

Just because you live in a neighborhood, and have neighbors, doesn't mean they'll come to your funeral either. What I'm saying is physical space might not be the core issue here. The system we've created allows more freedom, freedom to choo

I don't like TED, but I like information. Don't get me wrong, there is spectacular information being distributed by TED, but I almost feel tricked into obtaining it. The conference is so heavily designed around status, and ego that it seems

I'm not sure I get it. Is Google supposed to get everything right on their first try? It seems many people would say yes, even many users of HackerNews. This is very counter to my understanding of the philosophies shared around here. I alwa

I apologize if I come across as snarky, it is not my intent, but I don't like being told what I should do. There's no 'right' way to go about using your time, and wasting it is completely subjective. If I'm about to die and all I want to do

I spent a good amount of time lurking before signing up to get a feel for the culture. I'm actually kind of intimidated by the folks around here, and afraid I'll get torn up for saying something dumb. With that said, I'm sure it has been me

I'll admit that some of it is clever, but I still don't find it that funny. And I may be way off base here, but I think many people don't like this twitter account simply because of its popularity. They can't like what 'everyone' else likes
