I happened across an interesting article by Howard Rheingold entitled The Art of Hosting Good Conversations Online. It’s worth taking a look at if you have any interest at all in the subject. He is a veteran of The Well and wrote a book about it. He’s talking specifically about “online communities” and I’ve been trying to figure out what the differences might be (if any) between what he’s talking about and what we’re trying to do at Handmeon.
