notes, cuz the network is a bit flakey right now…

Clay and Denise Caruso are talking about the two kinds of communities –
- those of love, ala Clay’s talk, and
- those where people must come together to work on a shared problem, whether they want to or not.
the question of love cuts both ways – when the community goes away, the subject goes into decline. It’s precipitous, but less drastic than when a company goes belly-up and its products are suddenly unsupported.
Kaliya Hamlin comments that ‘love’ sometimes (almost always) equals ‘hard work’ – she is talking from her history of 4 years working on creating a identity community
