		<description>Thanks for your thoughts on this, Steve. I do bloggers definitely have a big place in the online community. And yes, it'll be great to link to all the great ideas. :-)</description>

		<description>Community is interesting and I think online communities really mirror real life communities. You have your leaders, you have your core group of people and then you have your leaches.

I think bloggers are the core of the community. I see leaders who help to bring blogs together and help them be the best they can be. This can range anywhere from a commenter on a blog all the way up to Blog Network Managers.

Then there are those who try to manipulate the community only to further themselves; always looking for a way to cheat the system.

As Steve said I could go on and on about it but in a nutshell that is my thoughts. Would make a good exercise Shai for people to link to each other's ideas ;)</description>

		<description>Steve and Phil: Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on web communities. I enjoyed reading your take on this subject. And, I definitely look forward to reading more.

P.S. @ Phil: Still waiting to get an all-clear from my doctor to start exercising. I've got my 6th-week post-delivery check-up coming next week and I'm hoping for a green signal. But, at the very least, I'm trying to be more and more mobile every day after the operation. Thanks for checking up on me! :-)</description>

Cheers

P.S. how's the exercise coming along? ;)</description>

		<description>Hi Shai!  I threw up a quick attempt at writing about communities, but I think it may take a mini-series to be able to get all my thoughts out.  It's a topic that I have a ton of ideas and thoughts about, but writing them in an organized manner is a challenge :-)

I look forward to hearing more from you about it!</description>
