Spring Virtual Community (sprin5)
What is the future of online community? Can they help us bond together and break down barriers that divide us? Will it be limited to those that can afford computers and web connected cell phones? Will vc's be helpful in raising people from poverty and illiteracy?

Not sure, but I am doing what I can in Geo conference (as you doubtless know). As for the entire community of Spring...it evolves as new member interact with the old members, bringing new ideas. Getting new and interesting people to join seems to be the crux of the problem. My efforts in this have taken an odd direction but it has brought new blood here just to lurk. I am delighted to see you posting!

Return on Investment: can your online community pay the bills? with Special
Guests
Please join Web Crossing and over a dozen Special Guests (including Figallo,

online community business, allowing participants to discuss a myriad of

Rheingold and Tim Lundeen.
Topics include:
