Selecting Tools for Online Communities: Suggestions for Learning Technologists - Eric Adams and Chris Freeman, the Technology Source

Setting out to build an online community is very similar to planning a brick-and-mortar community. Consider the responsibilities of urban developers who have been asked to create a neighborhood. The first thing the developers must keep in mind is that this area is being built for a specific group of citizens.

Building a community that does not meet the needs of its prospective inhabitants, that ends up sitting empty and abandoned, is the developers' worst nightmare.
