I suspect that, like me, most people want to absorb the info and don't feel they have much to contribute (or maybe that <i>is</i> just me ;-) ) I'd encourage you to go on giving space to discussions round the web and community because it's particularly interesting to read about in a quasi-political context. Most such discussions focus round measuring the success of your "online community" by how many you can lure through your shopping cart to the checkout :-/ Since this post is looking a little lonely and unloved I wanted to say thanks for writing it, IB.

Basically an on-line takeover of the give-away local "two-minute silence" rags with the advantage of daily updates, instant customer feedback and instant linky access to unlimited information/directories/news etc. Establish a reputation with quality local news, titbits, humour etc (big broadband rollout, computers-in-homes programmes etc will help), attract local advertising to pay the bills and you're onto a winner - not to mention saving the trees and cutting the tory dinosaurs off at the ankles.
