Topics

  • Blogs or social sites activity can segregate online activity into a more focused and personalised structure.
  • However social sites also allow segregation where certain members kept to their own culture and norm without interfacing with anyone else.
  • Just like in olden days, the marketplace or town hall is where people congregate and important decisions made, today it is happening in forums and blogs.
  • Linux was created when its creator Linus Torvalds submitted to a mailing list his first code contributions. Forums began to spread the word in a viral manner.
  • When ADempiere was first discussed in red1.org forum it attracted more than 500 visitors a day and important decisions were made there[1].
