Community Infancy

Communities are very cool orgasnisms. I've spent far too much time looking into how they evolve and what makes them tick. Right now the community is in it's infancy, there are only a few community members and they're all doing their own thing. It's not selfish, it's just publicity.

These people and institutions aren't trying to share or advance the medium - they're trying to show off. But the truth is they haven't figured this medium out yet - none of us have. We all have these different pieces and parts but none of us have put them together yet. It's great.

If the medium is going to evolve then some smart people are going to need to get together. Standards need to set and people need to get together to work out best practices. For the group to evolve it can't be just individuals doing their own thing. When the higher-minds don't get together we have the disparities we have with current browser standards.
