Absence of central community space
July 12, 2007 by James
One of the major difference between blog community and forum-based online community is the absence of community space. That entails the distributed conversation and more fluid membership. What is highlighted is the ownership issue and the tension between individual and community interest. The personal blog space is owned by the blogger. But who own the comments? the Commentor or the blogger? The user might be torn between whether to leave a comment or write his/her blog linking to the original blog.
