(never took you for a doom’s day guy)

Well, the sun is going to die one day, but I think we’ve got a billion years or so before that happens. ;-)

When you look back on your life…

It's interesting what you say about the world ending (never took you for a doom's day guy) and I think you make your point well. When you look back on your life, are you going to think about all the great stuff you had? Most people are more concerned about how their own children and grandchildren and the children and grandchildren of friends will turn out. It's the community that you build around you throughout your life that defines who you are.

I never saw myself making one until a few months ago! I agree that communities are the core of every possible thing good or bad. The internet is a virtual place to connect with people all over the world and a way to express our inner thoughts. It is another way(out of the many) to keep in touch with people and a paradise of information flowing endlessly through virtual space waiting to be discovered. In the end this is all part of a community building process for each thought or comment you sent through virtual space is already being absorbed and divided among the people where the reactions of each people will develop into a community of like minded individuals. 1 year ago, I did a marketing project about weblogs with 4 members.
